Rezension zu „Brock, G: Global Justice “
Brock develops an account of justice that demands serious consideration as an alternative to accounts defending and employing Rawlsian principles. It is also an approach that is distinct from Thomas Pogge's human rights based approach, Peter Singer's utilitarianism, and David Miller's moderate nationalism. The book occupies then an important place in the range of philosophical positions taken on matters of global justice. In addition, its policy recommendations merit attention. Many will prove useful to practical efforts to advance the cause of justice globally... The breadth of research into policy debates is very impressive and a significant intellectual accomplishment. Darrel Moellendorf, Journal of Global Ethics Gillian Brock's Global Justice is a welcome addition to the burgeoning literature on international ethics. For a number of years now, Brock has concentrated on this theoretically vexing and practically important area, and, as this book amply demonstrates, she is among the most sophisticated and informed theorists working on this topic. Christopher Heath Wellman, Mind [An] important new book. David Miller, Journal of Global Ethics an impressive and thought-provoking book ... It is a work of breathtaking ambition which does not shy away from, or deny, the complexities of public policy issues. Geoffrey Cupit, Australasian Journal of Philosophy the central section of the book contains many ideas that perform a real service in dispelling unfounded doubts about both the feasibility and measurability of progress towards goals of global distributive justice... Brock's development of a 'democratic equality' variant of global egalitarianism is a worthwhile and welcome addition to a literature which has thus far concentrated largely on 'globalizing' egalitarian ideals such as the difference principle, fair equality of opportunity, or luck equality Chris Armstrong, Journal of Global Ethics Brock has offered a wide-ranging treatment of important theoretical and

Lea Ypi, Res Publica a well-organized, tightly argued book about the virtues of her theoretical, cosmopolitan mode of global justice A.S. Rosenblum, Choice There is an increasing literature today on cosmopolitanism and global justice in the disciplines of philosophy and international relations.

The Political Quarterly a pleasure to read - clearly written and carefully argued ... The scope of the project and the care with which it has been executed make this book one of teh most important recent contributions to this most important topic. Clark Wolf, Political Studies Review
