Inhalt:
"In the light of intense international focus on ongoing forms of world poverty, this book examines the potential of the concept of recognition in contemporary political philosophy to respond morally to this dire condition. This book uses recognition theories to develop a two-tiered response to the problem of global poverty. First, it highlights non-degradation and non-humiliation as essential components to the agency of the very poor. This runs counter to liberal arguments that focus only on the deficit of basic material interests. Second, even if universal needs for non-degradation and non-humiliation are met, many of the world's extreme poor may still suffer domination. The book argues that empowering the world's poor to resist domination is an essential response to global poverty. By conceiving poverty in terms of agency and empowerment, this book highlights the transnational relevance of recognition theory to one of the most crucial problems affecting a rapidly globalizing world. Global Justice as Recognition Theory will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in social and political philosophy, political theory, and global justice"--
