Full Description
Based on a critique of liberal and libertarian contradictions with their conflictual consequences and on analyses of critical social theories and perspectives from the Global South (Latin America, Africa, and Asia), as well as the Global North, this book seeks to address tensions of global social misrecognition and injustice. It deals with the dispute over particular and universal norms on local, regional, and global levels, extra-territorial social recognition of the global poor, strategic socialism, threats of global hegemony, authoritarianism, and war in light of various conflicts.
