On Global Justice by Mathias Risse
Presents a theory of global distributive justice - what the author calls pluralist internationalism - where in different contexts, different principles of justice apply. This title explores who should have how much of what we all need and care about, ranging from income and rights to spaces and resources of the earth.
One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2013 "Risse's On Global Justice is a definitive account of justice as a responsibility extending beyond national borders and international institutions to encompass all human life through shared experience and common humanity.. This book is likely to become a primary resource for theorists and participants in global policy and human rights institutions."--Choice "The book ... addresses questions of great importance and offers an original and challenging perspective on how to approach them."--Adam Hosein, Political Science Quarterly "This is an important book. International economic lawyers sensitive to moral and political philosophy should not ignore it. Each of its chapters contains many significant insights... Risse has made a significant contribution."--John Linarelli, Journal of International Economic Law "This book ... displays a scholarly rigor and philosophical depth that renders much of the existing literature in this area obsolete... I have no doubt that this book will come to play a central role in normative theorizing about global justice for some time to come."--Daniel Savery, Political Studies Review "[A] deeply provocative, closely argued, and impressively many-sided book."--Richard Vernon, Perspectives on Politics
