November 2006
David Held and Ayse Kaya (eds.) (2007):
Global Inequality: Patterns and Explanations. Cambridge: Polity Press.
What is global inequality? How can it be measured? What are the major trends and patterns? What are the implications of global inequality for the world economy and multilateral governance? What role does and should inequality play in national and international policy-making?
In this comprehensive overview, the authors address these key questions. They examine all the major issues that need to be confronted in conceptualising, measuring and analysing contemporary patterns of global inequality. In addition, they explore the implications of these patterns for politics and public policy. In explaining the complex global patterns of social stratification, they highlight an intensive debate about whether and to what extent inequality matters. The book also addresses this debate, and seeks to set out the major alternative positions.
The book’s authors include many of the most distinguished figures in the field including David Dollar, Gosta Esping-Andersen, Nancy Fraser, James K. Galbraith, Ravi Kanbur, Branko Milanovic, Thomas W. Pogge, Bob Sutcliffe, Grahame F. Thompson, Anthony J. Venables, and Robert H. Wade.

Delegitimising Violence in a Global Era: The
Prospects for Pre-Emptive Civility
Speakers: Martin Albrow, Heba Raouf Ezzat, Mary
Kaldor, Tariq Ramadan
War and violence is high on the political agenda –
issues that global civil society cannot evade and is
grappling with. What is the relationship between civil
society and violence? Is it ever justified for non-state
actors to use violence? If so, can moral and legal
limits be imposed? This discussion marks the launch of Global Civil Society 2006-07, the sixth in the series, which engages in a unique dialogue that crosses political, cultural and religious boundaries.
Martin Albrow is visiting fellow at LSE’s Centre for the Study of Global Governance, LSE. Heba Raouf Ezzat is a lecturer at the Centre for Political Research and Studies, Cairo University. Mary Kaldor is director of the Centre for the Study of Global Governance, LSE. Tariq Ramadan is visiting professor at St Anthony’s College, Oxford, and president of the European Muslim Network.
This event is free and open to all with no ticket required. Entry is on a first come, first served basis.
