Description

Global Justice by Jon Mandle provides an accessible introduction to the core concepts and debates in the field. This book explores the meaning of global justice and its relationship with universal respect for basic human rights. Mandle argues that legitimate political institutions are essential for protecting these rights and ensuring self-determination, and sets out concrete reforms to protect core human rights internationally. He develops a unique account of global justice, drawing on the work of John Rawls, which rejects theories that suggest no principles of justice apply globally or that the same principles apply both domestically and globally. This book will be of interest to students of philosophy, political science, international relations, sociology, and globalization, as well as anyone reflecting on the importance of justice across borders.
