Year:
2009
Description
This essay links global justice to a materialist theorization of an alternative
globalization in order to decenter the formalist current predominating in contemporary
human rights discourses. It does so through the concept of the work of global
justice: namely, the ethico-political labor and forms of social action that are
constitutive of transnational struggles for emancipation. Using this framework, the
essay proposes a way out of the human rights blackmail in which radical thinking is
mired, by arguing in favor of a politically deontologizing and social constructivist
vision of global justice. The latter serves to outline the economic, political, and
cultural dimensions of a critical cosmopolitanism grounded in structural transformations
of the existing world order.
