Global Justice: A Progressive Theory

Global Justice: A Progressive Theory is an accessible introduction to the debate about globalization and liberal justice theory. Political theory, until only recently, has been mainly state orientated, focusing upon the function of nation-states, their governmental roles and responsibilities, constitutions, human rights and forms of governance. However, as technology forces us forward, the world in which these interactions take place changes and as a result the prevalent political methods must also evolve. The purpose of this work therefore is to address these changing dynamics and the demands they place upon justice. The book is noteworthy not just for focusing on the theoretical inconsistencies in liberal justice theory as it is applied within the global system, but also offers solutions and strategies for the future. Thoughtful and positive suggestions are made for reshaping globalization into a force that will be beneficial for all humans, rather than detrimental.
