Until recently, struggles for justice proceeded against the
background of a taken-for-granted frame: the bounded territorial
state. With that "Westphalian" picture of political space assumed
by default, the scope of justice was rarely subject to explicit
dispute. Today, the scope of justice is hotly contested, as
human-rights activists and international feminists join critics of
structural adjustment and the WTO in targeting injustices that cut
across borders. Seeking to re-map the bounds of justice on a
broader scale, these movements are challenging the view that
justice can only be a domestic relation among fellow citizens. As
their claims collide with those of nationalists and Westphalian
democrats, we witness new forms of "meta-political" contestation in
which the scale of justice is an object of explicit dispute. Under
these conditions, there is no avoiding an issue that had once
seemed to go without saying: What is the proper frame for
theorizing justice? Faced with a plurality of competing scales, how
do we know which scale of justice is truly just? Scales of Justice
tackles this issue. Interrogating struggles over globalization,
Nancy Fraser reconstructs the theory of justice for a
post-Westphalian world. Revising her widely discussed theory of
redistribution and recognition, she introduces representation as a
third, "political," dimension of justice, which permits us to
re-conceive scale and scope as questions of justice. Seeking to
re-imagine political space for a globalizing world, she revisits
the concepts of democracy, solidarity, and the public sphere; the
projects of critical theory, the World Social Forum, and
second-wave feminism; and the thought of Habermas, Rawls, Foucault,
and Arendt.
