This text examines which political principles should govern global politics, exploring the ethical issues that arise at the global level and addressing questions such as: are there universal values? Is national self-determination defensible? And when, if ever, may political regimes wage war?
This collection gathers a set of seminal papers from the emerging area of ethics and climate change. Topics covered include human rights, international justice, intergenerational ethics, individual responsibility, climate economics, and the ethics of geoengineering. Climate Ethics is intended to serve as a source book for general reference, and for university courses that include a focus on the human dimensions of climate change. It should be of broad interest to all those concerned with global justice, environmental science and policy, and the future of humanity.
This inquiry into the human rights dimensions of climate change identifies future perspectives, concerns and dilemmas for law and policy.
This volume seeks to make normative theorising on climate justice more relevant and applicable to political realities and public policy.
Distributive justice has come to the fore in political philosophy: how should we arrange our social and economic institutions so as to distribute benefits and burdens fairly? Thirty-eight leading figures from philosophy and political theory present specially written critical assessments of the key issues in this flourishing area of research.
Traditionally, much normative political theory has assumed that principles of justice should operate within the borders of states or nations rather than globally. However, interest in the possibility and desirability of global principles of distributive justice has increased recently. International Distributive Justice explores the arguments for and against such principles and explores the possible consequences of adopting them.
The Oxford Handbook of Global Justice explores an exciting area of refreshing, innovative new ideas for a changing world facing significant challenges.
"Most chapters in this volume were first presented at a symposium held at the University of Bern in December 2006"--Page ix.
What is justice? Great political philosophers from Plato to Rawls have traditionally argued that there is a single, principled answer to this question. Challenging this conventional wisdom, David Miller theorized that justice can take many different forms. In Forms of Justice, a distinguished group of political philosophers takes Miller's theory as a starting point and debates whether justice takes one form or many. Drawing real world implications from theories of justice and examining in depth social justice, national justice, and global justice, this book falls on the cutting edge of the latest developments in political theory. Sure to generate debate among political theorists and social scientists, Forms of Justice is indispensable reading for anyone attentive to the intersection between philosophy and politics.
Climate justice requires sharing the burdens and benefits of climate change and its resolution equitably and fairly. This book brings together economic and philosophical discourse on climate justice in order to support public policy dialogue on the topic.
