The idea of this discussion paper is to bring up ideas on how the European union could promote socially responsible globalization. This book has been written by Mr Bob Deacon, professor of Social Policy at the University of Sheffield, UK, with the assistance of Morgan Killick. Professor Deacon is also director of the Globalism and Social Policy programme. Professor Deacon would like to put forward the globalising of social rights, put social policy on the development agenda and inject social concerns into the global economy. These ideas are very challenging and it is not difficult to predict that they will meet with some criticism. However, these ideas clearly show, that the mechanisms, through which this kind of interest in socially responsible globalism can be expressed, need more of our attention at the European level.
