The tensions between democracy and justice have long preoccupied
political theorists. Institutions that are procedurally democratic
do not necessarily make substantively just decisions. Democratizing
Global Justice shows that democracy and justice can be mutually
reinforcing in global governance - a domain where both are
conspicuously lacking - and indeed that global justice requires
global democratization. This novel reconceptualization of the
problematic relationship between global democracy and global
justice emphasises the role of inclusive deliberative processes.
These processes can empower the agents necessary to determine what
justice should mean and how it should be implemented in any given
context. Key agents include citizens and the global poor; and not
just the states but also international organizations and advocacy
groups active in global governance. The argument is informed by and
applied to the decision process leading to adoption of the
Sustainable Development Goals, and climate governance inasmuch as
it takes on questions of climate justice.
