Curricular information is subject to change.

In an increasingly connected and unequal world, it is increasingly difficult to argue that the claims of justice can be limited to the society or group we happen to find ourselves in. This course examines the main rival theories of justice and their application, first on a national and then on a global level. We will first examine certain key concepts such as justice and human rights, second the main moral and political theories of global justice and finally we will conclude with an examination of concrete policy issues related to global inequality.
