Производитель: "Polity"

Global justice has become one of the most pressing issues of our time. Whilst half of the world's population continue to live on less than $2 per day, there are growing demands for a world where democracy, development and security are permanent features in all our lives.

These rights belong to each and every one of us, and they can be used to guide policy-making in areas such as humanitarian intervention, global poverty, and secession.
