Praise for the first edition

“The Global Justice reader is an important work of our time. It means that we can chart the development of the idea of justice in terms of the themes that occupy our world today. This book is a great idea about a great idea.”
—Robert Imre, University of Notre Dame, Australia

“This is both the broadest and the deepest selection of texts on morality beyond borders. Those looking for sharp analyses of crucial issues in global justice will find this collection clearly the best choice.”
—Leif Wenar, University of Sheffield

Newly revised and expanded, The Global Justice Reader brings together the best work in the field to help students explore the philosophical dimensions of critical global issues and chart the development of concepts of justice and morality. Specifically designed for course work, this first-of-its-kind volume presents seminal work from the moral and political philosophers of the past alongside important writings from the leading thinkers of today.

Thirty-nine thematically organized chapters address rights to self-determination, nationalism and patriotism, immigration and citizenship, climate change and environmental justice, human rights, global poverty, just war, terrorism, cosmopolitanism, and more. Throughout the book, students are exposed to key writings of the most influential writers on global justice, including Thomas Hobbes, Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, Martha C. Nussbaum, and Peter Singer.

With an up-to-date extended bibliography and full references in each chapter, The Global Justice Reader, Revised Edition remains the perfect textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in global justice, human rights, environmental justice, and social justice, and an excellent supplement for general courses in political philosophy, political science, social science, and law.
