Globale Gerechtigkeit - Global Justice

By: Jean-Christophe Merle

In der gegenwartigen Debatte uber die Globalisierung treffen die entschiedene Befurwortung des Prozesses und die Bedenken gegenuber seinen gravierenden Folgen fur Solidaritat und Demokratie aufeinander. Entscheidend ist dabei aber bereits der Weg zu einer globalen Weltordnung und dessen Rechtfertigung: Wie ist ein Globalisierungsprozess der politischen Institutionen zu denken, der den Forderungen der demokratischen Rechtsstaatlichkeit gerecht werden konnte? In the current debate about globalization, its supporters praise its benefits for the economy and for peace while its opponents express their skepticism about its serious consequences for solidarity and democracy in our societies. Yet, the decisive point is already the path towards a global world order as well as the justification of this way. How can globalization of political institutions be conceived of, if it is to comply with the principle of democracy and the rule of law? This volume addresses three central dimensions of this problem: (i) the ethics of international negotiations and agreements; (ii) the question whether global public debate and deliberation might gradually arise; (iii) the issue of the way in which the principles of federalism and subsidiarity could be applied to global political institutions.
