SOCIAL QUALITY - LOOKING FOR A GLOBAL SOCIAL PO...

Global (social) policy  human rights discussions and the UN-strive for Human Development and
Human Security are all caught in two fundamental traps: The one is that they take a specific
model of existing developed countries i.e. advanced capitalism as sole ideal without seriously
reflecting other advanced models. A possible alternative if imagined is at most proposed by
romanticised imaginations of a good society  in many cases referring to some kind of innocent
goodness of indigenous ways of life. The other trap is not far from the said alternatives a
reference to abstract and isolated concepts of justice  freedom etc.  referring to moral
statements  however  isolating them from wider systematic socio-economic and
politico-judicative thinking. The present volume attempts the difficult task of combining from
a socio-philosophical perspective political economy and social law in order to develop an
understanding of public responsibility for social quality in a global ambit. Special features
of the volume are an introduction into the social quality approach  an excursus looking at
Islam societies  and an excursus  looking at Asian understandings.
