Details

Marketing Global Justice is a critical study of efforts to 'sell' global justice. The book offers a new reading of the rise of international criminal law as the dominant institutional expression of global justice, linking it to the rise of branding. The political economy analysis employed highlights that a global elite benefit from marketised global justice whilst those who tend to be the 'faces' of global injustice - particularly victims of conflict - are instrumentalised and ultimately commodified. The book is an invitation to critically consider the predominance of market values in global justice, suggesting an 'occupying' of global justice as an avenue for drawing out social values.

  • The first book to bring together marketing and international law in a systematic way, providing a unique insight into interpretations of 'global justice' in the neoliberal order
  • Examines the political economy of international criminal law, appealing to readers interested in the social, economic, political, and cultural context of global justice
  • Incorporates visual and textual analysis of international criminal law, speaking to the recent 'turn to aesthetics' in international law
