Qerimi (law, U. of Prishtina, Kosovo) presents a holistic understanding of development that goes beyond mere economic growth and instead seeks to optimize access by all human beings to: power, wealth, well-being, affection, enlightenment, skill, respect, and rectitude. Such an approach requires a focus, he argues, on universal human dignity, which provides a cross-cultural basis for providing policy guidance towards a justice-based world order. His proposals for promoting such a human dignity- and justice-based approach to development are based on a conceptual framework guided by attention to "six Is": institutions, information, interaction, incentives, invention, and innovation. His discussion is informed by cross-disciplinary perspectives from legal and policy sciences, economics, history, philosophy, and political theory.
