This book brings together a set of distinguished academics and
activists to analyze, critique, and debate the global politics of
poverty and justice and the contemporary nature of
globalization.
It examines the connections between really existing
globalization, global capitalism, and global poverty, and the idea
of and prospects for global justice now and in the future.
Identifying continuing contradictions between the stated aims of
the reigning global economic orthodoxy and the actual consequences
of these policies in relation to alleviation of severe poverty and
injustice, the authors engage in a lively critique of the very
visible campaigns to end global poverty during the past several
years and especially in 2005, the year of the make Poverty History
campaign, Live8, the Africa Commission s report, and the Gleneagles
G8 summit. Contributions range from consideration of the meaning
and definition of global justice, its relation to global ethics and
development in both theory and practice, analysis of the new forms
of global politics that challenge neoliberal globalization and
global injustice, and trenchant critique of the practices and
policies of some of the major organizations and agencies deeply
involved in global poverty alleviation.
Globalization and the Global Politics of Justice is highly
recommended for all those interested in contemporary global
politics and the issue of inequality, injustice, and poverty
between the North and South.
