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.
