Persisting international conflicts, increasing inequality in many regions or the world, and acute environmental and climate-related threats to humanity call for a better understanding of the processes, actors and tools available to face the challenges of achieving global justice.

This book offers a broad and multidisciplinary survey of global justice, bridging the gap between theory and practice by connecting conceptual frameworks with a panoply of case studies and an in-depth discussion of practical challenges. Connecting these critical aspects to larger moral and ethical debates is essential for thinking about large, abstract ideas and applying them directly to specific contexts. Core content includes:

  • Key debates in global justice from across philosophy, post-colonial studies, political science, sociology and criminology;
  • The origins of global justice and the development of the human rights agenda; peacekeeping and post-conflict studies;
  • Global poverty and sustainable development;
  • Global security and transnational crime;
  • Environmental justice, public health and well-being.

Rather than providing a required blueprint for the practice of global justice, this text problematizes the efforts to cope with many of the related issues. The pedagogical approach is designed to map the difficulties that exist between theory and praxis, encourage critical thinking and fuel debates to help seek alternative solutions.

Bringing together perspectives from a wealth of disciplines, this book is essential reading for courses on global justice across criminology, sociology, political science, anthropology, philosophy and law.

Industry Reviews

Hugely topical and timely. This far ranging book on global justice engages all of the leading contemporary debates from war and peace to climate change and economic development. It is an essential companion for academic and general audiences alike.

Ruti Teitel, Ernst C Stiefel Professor of Comparative Law, New York Law School

This book by Kurze and Lamont beautifully maps out global justice discussions in the past, present and future across disciplines, capturing their entirety holistically, while categorizing them into three pillars - conflict and post-conflict, distributive justice, and environmental justice. A great read: first of its kind!

Ai Kihara-Hunt, Professor of International Human Rights Law and the Rule of Law, The University of Tokyo

In Mapping Global Justice, Arnaud Kurze and Christopher K. Lamont provide a comprehensive and critical assessment of a range of global justice debates and practices that transcend the topic of transitional justice to also include the crucial topics of environmental justice, global security threats, and racial and gender discrimination. This book is must reading for specialists and students interested in understanding the interconnected challenges facing these different realms of global justice.

Victor Peskin, Associate Professor, School of Politics and Global Studies, Arizona State University

An inspiring, must-read for students, scholars and practitioners. The authors tackle global justice issues, including conflict, inequality and environmental threats from a multidisciplinary perspective, providing us with a fresh perspective and practical insights on how to face today's major international challenges.
