The Oxford Handbook of Global Justice

by Thom Brooks

Overview

Global justice is an exciting area of refreshing, innovative new ideas for a changing world facing significant challenges. Not only does work in this area often force us to rethink about ethics and political philosophy more generally, but its insights contain seeds of hope for addressing some of the greatest global problems facing humanity today. The Oxford Handbook of Global Justice has been selective in bringing together some of the most pressing topics and issues in global justice as understood by the leading voices from both established and rising stars across twenty-five new chapters. This Handbook explores severe poverty, climate change, egalitarianism, global citizenship, human rights, immigration, territorial rights, and much more.

Editorial Reviews

"The volume covers a wide scope of topics and approaches and should be useful to scholars interested in the idea of the global and in shared problems that not only transcend the borders of nation-states but are also informed by them. By framing this collection in terms of "global justice" rather than adopting a more readily defined concept such as "international law," the editor was able to include both well-established and new areas of global studies." — B. M. Gettleson, CHOICE
