Gillian Brock’s (2023) Corruption and Global Justice is a transformative contribution to the field of global justice theory, which links normative discourses on political corruption to an idea of global justice. In this article we introduce Brock’s argument that corruption is not merely a practical impediment to global justice but a core normative ...

Gillian Brock’s Corruption and Global Justice engages with one of the presently most worrying topics of our world: the problem of corruption. Corruption is a major challenge because it implies that many of the tasks that should be carried out by public officials and other professionals are not carried out at all or involve higher costs than they otherwise ...

Gillian Brock’s book Corruption and Global Justice (2023) is a timely discussion on corruption. As Brock points out, this has been a neglected issue in political philosophy, even though its existence is a constraint on realizing many justice-related goals. The book tackles the important questions of what ought to be done about corruption, who ought to do it, ...

This symposium contribution highlights a pressing puzzle not fully addressed in Brock’s Corruption and Global Justice: whether and how some anti-corruption initiatives ought to be prioritized over others. I argue that, given the prevalence of corruption in our current, non-ideal circumstances, citizens and public officials of the relatively affluent and ...

Gillian Brock’s Corruption and Global Justice convincingly presents the case that corruption, both domestic and international, should be the concern of the scholar of global injustice. In her characteristic approach of ‘engaged political philosophy’, Brock draws upon extensive empirical and interdisciplinary literature to argue that not only is ...

Gillian Brock admirably confronts normative political theory’s longstanding neglect of global corruption. In sympathy with her core claims, I analyze why global corruption remains such an important problem and why issues like tax sheltering are essential test cases for reform. While critics worry about anti-corruption norms becoming hegemonic expressions of ...

In Corruption and Global Justice I offer an account of how to assign responsibilities for addressing corruption. Can we achieve any important victories in combating this global problem, given its scale and the powerful forces at play that might provide significant resistance to our corruption-curbing actions? I am grateful for the symposium authors’ ...

This Special Section examines the normative challenges of the Green Transition under non-ideal political conditions marked by institutional inertia, distributive conflict, citizens’ motivational deficits, and increasing public contestation. Interpreting the Green Transition both as a set of concrete policy programs aimed at carbon neutrality and as a ...

Current moral and political theory offers different proposals for tackling climate change, judged by effectiveness, feasibility, and moral adequacy. Setting aside disputes about moral values, there is broad agreement that meaningful progress requires combining individual lifestyle changes, policy reforms aimed at net-zero emissions, and technological innovation ...

The urgency of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 has intensified political commitments to a Green Transition. Yet, current strategies often overlook the structural links between carbon emissions and economic inequality. This paper argues that effective and fair climate action within developed liberal democracies must directly address economic disparities. I ...

This paper argues that the democratic legitimacy of the Green Transition depends on acknowledging the plurality and conflictual nature of contemporary climate politics in the public sphere. While youth-led movements have revitalized climate justice discourse, emerging forms of dissent—such as No Farmers, No Food, No Future—show that many ordinary ...

Transforming the global economy’s energy basis from its longstanding dependence on fossil fuels to a system based on renewable sources is an immense and urgent undertaking. In 2024, world GDP exceeded $111 trillion, and according to the International Energy Agency, more than 80 percent of this economic activity is still powered by fossil fuels. This ...
