Description:
Issues of global justice have received increasing attention in
academic philosophy in recent years but the gendered dimensions of
these issues are often overlooked or treated as peripheral. This
groundbreaking collection by Alison Jaggar brings gender to the
centre of philosophical debates about global justice.

The explorations presented here range far beyond the limited range
of issues often thought to constitute feminists? concerns
about global justice, such as female seclusion, genital cutting,
and sex trafficking. Instead, established and emerging scholars
expose the gendered and racialized aspects of transnational
divisions of paid and unpaid labor, class formation, taxation,
migration, mental health, the so-called resource curse, and
conceptualizations of violence, honor, and consent. Jaggar's
introduction explains how these and other feminist investigations
of the transnational order raise deep challenges to assumptions
about justice that for centuries have underpinned Western political
philosophy.

Taken together the pieces in this volume present a sustained
philosophical engagement with gender and global justice. Gender
and Global Justice provides an accessible and original
perspective on this important field and looks set to reframe
philosophical reflection on global justice.
