Details

What do equality, dignity and rights mean in a world where sixty-two people own as much wealth as three and a half billion human beings? Contesting World Order? explores how global justice movements use socioeconomic rights to challenge neo-liberal global governance. Since the 1980s, global and domestic policies, underwritten by neo-liberal ideology, have eroded social protection systems and expropriated local communities and primary producers of the means of subsistence.

Drawing upon insights from critical international relations theory, this work examines how activists and actors operating across borders have contested these policies and articulated their claims for justice in terms of socioeconomic rights.
