Abstract

The book investigates topics such as world poverty, global economic inequality, nationalism and cosmopolitanism, human rights, cultural diversity and sovereignty, boundaries, secession and immigration, just wars and humanitarian intervention, climate change justice, and global health justice. Tan suggests that for resolving conflicts between various schools and nuances of questions of global justice, the ideal solution is to aspire towards a just international institutional order consisting of international conventions and institutions. [...]Tan’s book has a certain deference to global institutional order and governance and does not cater only to moral considerations. [...]as Tan herself acknowledges in the conclusion, while the book adopts a problem-by-problem approach, she is not renouncing aspirations of a theory of global justice.
