The Climatic Challenge to Global Justice
2014
How should we think of justice when the evil we can do to one another is not visible nor immediate, but rather impalpable and causally, spatially and temporally dispersed? What does justice demand, when our actions and institutions do not directly sabotage the life prospects of others but rather do so derivatively, by sabotaging the very eco-systems in which such lives are or will be lived? In a globalized, resource-depleted, overpopulated, rapidly changing, ecologically deteriorating world, what is owed to the billions of spatiotemporally distant people who are paying or shall pay the costs of the last 200 years of heavy industry, globalized trade and enthusiastic economic growth? And is t…
Putting global poverty in context : a philosophical essay on power, justice and economy
2009
Teppo Eskelinen tarkastelee väitöskirjatyössään äärimmäiseen köyhyyteen sisältyviä eettisiä ongelmia yhteiskuntafilosofian näkökulmasta. Usein oletetaan, että maailman hyväosaisilla on moraalisia velvollisuuksia poistaa äärimmäistä köyhyyttä. Näitä velvollisuuksia tulee kuitenkin Eskelisen mukaan tutkia etiikan lisäksi yhteiskuntafilosofian kontekstista eli oikeudenmukaisuuden ja vallan ongelmina.- Alallamme on käyty paljon keskustelua siitä, minkälaisia velvollisuuksia hyväosaisilla on poistaa äärimmäistä köyhyyttä. Nämä velvollisuudet on perinteisesti nähty velvollisuuksina auttaa. On kuitenkin esitetty, ovatko talousjärjestelmän voittajien velvollisuudet enemmänkin negatiivisia eli velvo…
Climate Change and Global Justice: New Problem, Old Paradigm?
2014
In this paper, we focus on the conceptualization of climate change as an issue of global justice. While we do not deny that climate change raises fundamental and dramatic issues of justice among peoples as well as generations, our claim is that the language of global justice can obscure the fact that problems provoked by climate change lack some characteristic features of problems of global justice, while possessing others that are not characteristic of such problems. We begin by describing briefly how we got to where we are, climatically speaking; we go on to show why it is plausible to think of climate change as provoking problems of global justice; point out four respects in which this d…

2013

Analysis of the Standard Definition of Cosmopolitanism
2021
This chapter investigates the traditional definition of cosmopolitanism which understands cosmopolitanism as moral egalitarianism. It sets out in detail how the three core elements (individualism, universality, and generality) allow so much room for interpretation that the definition hardly provides any information on what moral egalitarianism means. It confirms that cosmopolitanism as moral egalitarianism includes almost all theories of global justice, even such that are commonly seen as opposing positions.
ADR Mechanisms and Their Incorporation into Global Justice in the Twenty-First Century: Some Concepts and Trends
2014
The State and State courts have been approached for centuries as the almost only available instruments to ensure access to justice to citizens; that is to guarantee the right to an effective remedy before an independent and impartial tribunal previously established by law within a reasonable time. A monopoly for the State in the field of dispute resolution has existed to the extent that despite the long presence of non-judicial instruments of dispute resolution in many jurisdictions, they have been traditionally considered as marginal in most countries and have lacked real implementation by citizens and legal actors.Unfortunately, the situation is not fully satisfactory. State courts have b…

Consequences and Conclusion
2021
This chapter reflects the argument developed in the previous chapters, concluding that cosmopolitanism as nonrelationism is both a distinct and plausible position within the global justice debate. The chapter identifies prominent proponents and excludes others. The chapter also highlights the consequences of cosmopolitanism as nonrelationism for the evaluation and design of institutional structures on the global as well as on the domestic level.
Rethinking Samir Amin’s legacy and the case for a political organization of the global justice movement
2019
Juego argues that the new Internationale’s “primary organizational function should be the global coordination of actions of progressive grassroots movements from country to country.” He calls for a ‘learning organization,’ where the new Internationale supports “a continuous dialogue between bottom-up and top-down approaches to decision-making.” He sees it as “[a]kin to a global coordinating council” meaning that it works to integrate and synthesize the “varying initiatives, campaigns, and mass actions at all geographical levels of membership” while remaining mindful of the “dialectics between reform and revolution.” The new Internationale must, moreover, be “grounded on a pragmatic understa…
