Críticas:

'This is a visionary work concerned with what the principles of social justice "ought" to be in the global age.' Political Studies Review 'Presents a wealth of ideas that will be valuable not only for those in the academic and political spheres, but also for leaders of foundations and NGOs working to promote social and economic development.' Effect 'A "must read" for all searching for a way to make globalisation more equitable and to renew social policies at a time of ever-growing interdependence. The huge challenge of the financial and economic crisis of 2009 makes these reflections all the more timely.' Kemal Dervis, Former Head of the United Nations Development Programme, and author of A Better Globalization: Legitimacy, Governance, and Reform 'From the wreckage of the world's financial system two insights emerge. Global economic integration demands stronger global governance; and the political legitimacy of globalisation depends on an equitable distribution of the fruits of prosperity. Economic efficiency cannot be separated from social justice. This collection of essays provides essential reading for the most important debate of our times.' Philip Stephens, Associate Editor, Financial Times 'Cramme and Diamond have produced a very timely collection given growing protectionist impulses and the urgent need to rethink the governance of globalisation. These original and reflective essays, written by key thinkers and advocates in the field, challenge orthodox thinking about social justice under conditions of economic globalisation. At this moment of global crisis this book deserves to be read as a reminder that duties to our compatriots and to others must be and can be reconciled.' Tony McGrew, Professor of International Relations, Southampton University, and co-author of Globalization/Anti-Globalization

Reseña del editor:

This book seeks to articulate a modern conception of social justice in an era of globalisation, and the radical reforms needed to address poverty and inequality both in the developing and the industrialised economies of the western hemisphere.
