Domination consists in subjection to the will of others and manifests itself both as a personal relation and a structural phenomenon serving as the context for relations of power. Domination has again become a central political concern through the revival of the republican tradition of political thought (not to be confused with the US political party). However, normative debates about domination have mostly remained limited to the context of domestic politics. Also, the republican debate has not taken into account alternative ways of conceptualizing domination. Critical theorists, liberals, feminists, critical race theorists, and postcolonial writers have discussed domination in different ways, focusing on such problems as imperialism, racism, and the subjection of indigenous peoples. This volume extends debates about domination to the global level and considers how other streams in political theory and nearby disciplines enrich, expand upon, and critique the republican tradition's contributions to the debate. This volume brings together, for the first time, mostly original pieces on domination and global political justice by some of this generation's most prominent scholars, including Philip Pettit, James Bohman, Rainer Forst, Amy Allen, John McCormick, Thomas McCarthy, Charles Mills, Duncan Ivison, John Maynor, Terry Macdonald, Stefan Gosepath, and Hauke Brunkhorst.

Domination consists in subjection to the will of another and manifests itself both as a personal relation and as a structural phenomenon which serves as the context for such relations of power. The revival of the republican tradition of thought has again brought domination to the foreground as a central political concern; however, most of this discussion has been limited to the context of domestic politics, and the republican debate has not taken into account the myriad alternative ways of conceptualizing domination as a political problem. The purpose of this collection is to extend the focus of the debate about domination to the global level and to consider how other streams in political theory and nearby disciplines can enrich and expand upon the republican tradition's contributions to the debate. The volume brings together research by leading republican scholars, critical theorists, and liberals on conceptual, historical, and institutional questions of cross-border domination and the political philosophy of global justice, focusing on such problems as imperialism, racism, and the subjection of indigenous peoples.Including work by rising scholars alongside the canonical pieces A Republican Law of Peoples by Philip Pettit (with a new appendix for this volume) and Liberal Imperialism and the Dilemma of Development by Thomas McCarthy, Domination and Global Political Justice delineates the parameters of the debate, and will be useful for political theorists, philosophers, historians, legal theorists, and international relations scholars.
