Kurzbeschreibung

This second edition of the Encylopedia of Global Justice comes 10 years after its first edition. Much has changed during the intervening years. In this new edition, the Encyclopedia offers more than 140 new entries and revisions to dozens of existing entries, thus ensuring its continued usefulness by addressing new and existing events. The Arab Spring, refugee crises around the globe, a worldwide pandemic, the Paris Climate Agreement, and a war of aggression by a former superpower are just a few of the events that have significantly altered our understanding of the international arena. In an ever more interconnected and interdependent world, issues of global justice are only growing in importance. The 1st Edition of the Encyclopedia of Global Justice has, over its ten-plus years of existence, become one of the preeminent reference materials for scholars and students working in this area. Further, as a single integrated resource dealing with such a complex range of issues, it provides common understandings, thus enhancing the ability of those involved in the discourse and dialogue over global justice to engage with one another in thoughtful and constructive cross-disciplinary dialogue. There is nothing like the Encyclopedia of Global Justice and the second edition maintains its status as a unique and invaluable resource for all working in the field.
