Global Justice and Recognition Theory

Dignifying the World’s Poor

By: Monica Mookherjee

In the light of intense international focus on ongoing forms of world poverty, this book examines the potential of the concept of recognition in contemporary political philosophy to respond morally to this dire condition. This book uses recognition theories to develop a two-tiered response to the problem of global poverty. First, it highlights non-degradation, non-humiliation and the avoidance of social suffering as essential components to the agency of the very poor. This runs counter to liberal arguments that focus only on the deficit of basic material interests. Second, even if universal conditions of agency are met, many of the world’s extreme poor may still suffer domination. The book argues that empowering the world’s poor to resist domination is an essential response to global poverty. By conceiving poverty in terms of agency and empowerment, this book highlights the transnational relevance of recognition theory to one of the most crucial problems affecting a rapidly globalising world. Global Justice and Recognition Theory will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in social and political philosophy, political theory, and global justice.

Multiculturalism

By: Monica Mookherjee

In the post 9/11 world, the idea of multiculturalism excites controversy. Some believe that it threatens civic unity and security, that it undermines human rights, or that it leads states to stray from crucial social goals such as the equal distribution of wealth. In the light of such heavy criticisms, this book provides a fresh examination of the political theory of multiculturalism and an introduction to the core debates. Monica Mookherjee considers reparations for historical injustice as a form of minority 'recognition', indigenous land rights and the toleration of religion and culture. The book evaluates each issue from the perspective of moral commitments to equality and freedom. An instructive text for students, as well as of great interest to researchers in the field, the book argues that while multicultural debates always appeal to values of equality and freedom, a deeper reason for respecting diversity lies in the human capability to plan a life in accordance with one's existing values and attachments.
