"What, if any, are the demands of global distributive justice? How, if at all, does global distributive justice affect our understanding of social development and the moral justifiability of international development policies? Global Justice and Development answers the first question by arguing that the demands of global distributive justice ought to be determined in a reasonably democratic manner. Accordingly, the primary demand of global distributive justice is to establish the political and socioeconomic conditions necessary for reasonably democratic arrangements. In response to the second question, this book makes the case that such a procedural view of global distributive justice challenges all substantive normative conceptions of social development that focus on particular outcomes rather than on proper political procedures.

Report
"Global Justice and Development, is a worthy addition to two sets of academic literature, that of global justice and global development. ... Culp deftly navigates through vast tracts of literature, and provides a thoroughgoing account of the problems of alternative conceptions of global justice, such as statism, globalism, and transnationalism. This rich overview alone is a reason why this book should be considered essential reading for students of global justice and development."
