Social Justice in a Global Age (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

What is the relationship between the principles of social justice and global justice? How can we best reconcile the quest for greater social justice 'at home' with greater social justice in the world? Are the social justice pressures our societies currently face the result of globalisation or are they domestically generated? How can we advance social justice in the light of the new social realities? In this volume, leading international experts offer compelling answers to these questions. The aim of this volume is to articulate a modern conception of social justice that remains relevant for an era of rapid globalisation. The authors have developed a robust theoretical account of the relationship between globalisation and social justice complemented by an underpinning policy framework that aims to sustain new forms of equity and solidarity.

"A 'must read' for all searching for a way to make globalisationmore equitable and to renew social policies at a time ofever-growing interdependence. The huge challenge of the financialand economic crisis of 2009 makes these reflections all the moretimely."

"From the wreckage of the world's financial system two insightsemerge. Global economic integration demands stronger globalgovernance; and the political legitimacy of globalisation dependson an equitable distribution of the fruits of prosperity. Economicefficiency cannot be separated from social justice. This collectionof essays provides essential reading for the most important debateof our times."

"Cramme and Diamond have produced a very timely collection givengrowing protectionist impulses and the urgent need to rethink thegovernance of globalisation. These original and reflective essays,written by key thinkers and advocates in the field, challengeorthodox thinking about social justice under conditions of economicglobalisation. At this moment of global crisis this book deservesto be read as a reminder that duties to our compatriots and toothers must be and can be reconciled."
