While ethical issues have been examined in conjunction with many business contexts, the area of real estate and ethics has, at best, received only... minimal treatment. Given that real estate transactions represent one of the largest single expenditures by businesses and households, and recognizing that real estate holdings represent a major portion of wealth portfolios worldwide, this lack of coverage is conspicuous by its absence. The goal of this book is to begin rectifying this situation. By offering fifteen essays addressing the central issue of ethics and real estate from a wide variety of perspectives, the contributors seek to encourage a dialogue that is lively and, at times, provocative. The authors include academics and professional practitioners, and collectively represent five countries and many diverse disciplines. Drawing from both empirical and conceptual frameworks, the chapters are divided into five main sections: 1) policy issues, 2) industry practice, 3) environmental issues, 4) ethical issues involving transactions, and 5) ethical issues involving tenants. Taken together these essays offer a challenging point of departure for considering the important interaction of ethical issues in real estate theory and practice.

Issues include how and why information is obtained and how it will be used; how the meaning of technical terms shift with the value perspectives behind them; and how science and technology can be used to put forth questionable values or to serve values not apparent in the discourse.

Within a professional setting such as a business or and educational institution people make decisions about what level of attention and care they give... to the tasks at hand, what they produce and how they produce it (whether it is a wool coat or a research paper), and how they present their work to others. If we never had to deal with people, we would not have any reason to worry about ethics. This is a book about the relationships between functions in the textiles, apparel, and retailing complex and the people who make those functions happen. The human element is explored in terms of decisions making processes leading to outcomes that have ethical implications. Paulins and Hillery hope to empower students who will soon become professionals in this industry to make good decisions because they are informed about the industry, aware of controversial issues within the industry, in touch with their own ethical constructs and aware of potential consequences or benefits of their actions as they work through the decision-making process.

In the last two decades public policies have reflected a drive for accelerated global economic integration ("globalization"), associated with greater... economic liberalization. The outcomes have been largely disappointing, even in the estimate of their designers. Rural livelihoods have become more insecure, and the expected growth has rarely materialized. Insecurity is also etched into the growth of informal economies across the world. Yet the economic policy agenda that has been so adverse to many people around the world has also provided new opportunities to some social groups, including some low-income women. In response to widespread discontent with the liberalization agenda, more attention is now being given to social policies and governance issues, viewed as necessary if globalization is to be "tamed" and "embedded". The contributors to this volume address key issues and questions such as whether states have the capacity to remedy the social distress unleashed by liberalization in the absence of any major revision of their macroeconomic policies and whether the proposed social policy reforms can redress gender-based inequalities in access to resources and power.
