Persistent international conflicts, escalating inequality in numerous regions or the world, and acute environmental and climate-related threats to humanity demand a deeper comprehension of the processes, actors, and tools available to address the challenges of achieving global justice. This comprehensive and interdisciplinary book provides a thorough exploration of global justice, bridging the gap between theory and practice by integrating conceptual frameworks with a diverse range of case studies and an in-depth examination of practical challenges. Connecting these critical aspects to broader moral and ethical debates is crucial for contemplating abstract ideas and applying them directly to specific contexts. The core content encompasses:

Key debates in global justice from various philosophical, postcolonial studies, political science, sociology, and criminology fields.

The origins of global justice and the evolution of the human rights agenda.

Peacekeeping and post-conflict studies.

Global poverty and sustainable development.

Global security and transnational crime.

Environmental justice, public health, and well-being.

Rather than offering a prescriptive blueprint for the practice of global justice, this text problematizes efforts to cope with numerous justice-related issues. The pedagogical approach is designed to navigate the complexities between theory and praxis, foster critical thinking, and ignite debates to explore alternative solutions.

By bringing together perspectives from a diverse array of disciplines, this book serves as an essential resource for courses on global justice across criminology, sociology, political science, anthropology, philosophy, and law.
