The Analytical Framework

Chapter 3 provides the analytical framework of the book, which develops the study’s techniques and processes as the modus operandi of the inquiry. The chapter puts the research questions into the different categories of moral philosophy—meta-ethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics—from the perspective of social ethics. The chapter also deploys the position that international development is viewed by neoclassical economics and its neoliberal counterparts as a globalised market economy.
