Gillian Brock, Global justice: A cosmopolitan account
In: Ethics & Global Politics, Band 2, Heft 4
Abstract
This is a review of Gillian Brock's new book, "Global justice: a cosmopolitan account" (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2009) which sets out the central theses of the book and then offers a critical appraisal of its central arguments. My specific concern is that Brock gives an insufficiently robust account of human rights with which to define the nature of global justice and thereby leaves cosmopolitanism too vulnerable to the normative pull of local and traditional moral conceptions that fall short of the universalism that cosmopolitans should be able to embrace. Adapted from the source document.
