Corruption and Global Justice

Autor Gillian Brock
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iun 2023

Notăm cu interes contribuția esențială a autoarei Gillian Brock, conferențiar la Universitatea din Auckland, care adresează o lacună surprinzătoare în filozofia politică contemporană: neglijarea corupției ca temă centrală a dreptății globale. Deși corupția este recunoscută constant ca unul dintre cele mai mari obstacole în calea securității și a eradicării sărăciei, Corruption and Global Justice este prima monografie filozofică ce analizează acest fenomen prin prisma responsabilității normative. Subliniem rigoarea cu care Brock construiește un cadru de acțiune colectivă, trecând dincolo de simpla condamnare morală pentru a identifica cine trebuie să acționeze și prin ce mecanisme.

Descoperim în această lucrare o evoluție firească a preocupărilor autoarei pentru etica transfrontalieră. Dacă în Global Health sau Debating Brain Drain Brock analiza inechitățile sistemice și obligațiile față de societățile în curs de dezvoltare, volumul de față sintetizează aceste teme într-o teorie a „responsabilității orientate spre viitor”. Această abordare completează perspectiva oferită de Just Responsibility de Brooke A. Ackerly, adăugând o analiză tehnică a riscurilor de corupție în cadrul instituțiilor și propunând intervenții concrete acolo unde Ackerly se concentrează mai mult pe structurile politice generale. Stilul este precis și argumentativ, specific filozofiei analitice, dar ancorat permanent în realități juridice și politici publice, oferind o lectură densă, dar extrem de structurată, necesară pentru înțelegerea mecanismelor care subminează justiția socială la nivel mondial.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este indispensabilă studenților și cercetătorilor din domeniile filozofiei politice, științelor sociale și relațiilor internaționale. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă a modului în care corupția poate fi combătută prin responsabilitate partajată. Este o recomandare fermă pentru cei care doresc să treacă de la teoria abstractă a dreptății la soluții practice, bazate pe acțiune colectivă și cadre legale solide.

Descriere

Corruption is a pervasive problem across the world and is regularly ranked as among the greatest global challenges. Considering the role that corruption plays in exacerbating deprivation and fuelling social tension, peaceful and just societies are unlikely to come about without tackling corruption. Addressing corruption should be a high priority for those concerned with poverty eradication, peace, security, and justice. Yet, curiously, corruption has not yet been the focus of any books by philosophers working on global justice topics. Corruption and Global Justice does so. Author Gillian Brock offers a normatively justified account of how to allocate responsibilities for addressing corruption across the many agents who can and should play a role. In order to know who should take responsibility and how they should do so, we need to understand multiple forms of corruption, the corruption risks associated with various activities, the interventions that tackle corruption effectively, and current policy and legal frameworks in place for addressing corruption. In addition, Brock proposes a new framework for navigating responsibility to address injustice, one that is action-oriented and forward-looking. Adopting an agent-empowering approach and harnessing the power of joining forces in effective collective action, Corruption and Global Justice addresses a significant global problem in a comprehensive way, providing the tools we need for progress as we collaborate to tackle this global scourge.

Recenzii

Gillian Brock's Corruption and Global Justice is an impressively encompassing yet concise work that puts forth a compelling argument as to why addressing corruption is a necessary condition for realizing human rights and achieving the goals of global justice, despite being a problem largely overlooked by academics and actors working towards such goals...Uniquely persuasive in her empirically informed normative methodology are the solutions offered for addressing corruption that work within existing frameworks and human rights practices, and the multi-level approach to assigning such responsibilities, including both remedial and forward-looking responsibilities.
Despite the massive size of the global justice literature, Brock's book is one of the first - perhaps the first - to focus specifically on corruption in relation to global justice. It would be an important work for this reason alone, but it also has many other virtues which should make it the touchstone of the topic going forward ... Brock is correct that corruption is an important problem and that global justice theorists have not given it the attention it deserves. And many of her proposals are worth taking seriously ... the topic is ripe for further work, and Brock is to be commended for bringing it to the table.
...the work is an exemplar of engaged political philosophy for our times and promises to be one which many will find invaluable in getting to grips with this enormously pressing issue
Through the compilation of a broad range of empirical material and extensive references to the literature on corruption, Brock provides a useful overview for the general reader who wishes to become familiar with a multifaceted problem that is rampant in our world.
an invaluable and much-needed contribution to the philosophical and normative literatures on global justice.
A transformative contribution to the field of global justice theory, which links normative discourses on political corruption to an idea of global justice. The work represents a path-breaking contribution to the field of global justice for its treatment of corruption as a core concern for the discipline, not simply a practical obstacle to be overcome. Corruption and Global Justice succeeds in opening space for the kind of critical, philosophically grounded engagement that the pressing problem of corruption demands.
Corruption and Global Justice (2023) is a timely discussion on corruption. As Brock points out, this has been a neglected issue in political philosophy, even though its existence is a constraint on realizing many justice-related goals. The book tackles the important questions of what ought to be done about corruption, who ought to do it, and how responsibility should be shared. ... This is a timely and important book, that focuses on answering three questions: what ought to be done about corruption, who ought to do it, and how responsibility should be shared.
Corruption and Global Justice makes a compelling argument as to why international normative political theory should pay more attention to corruption, why different actors and institutions have global justice obligations to address the problem of corruption, and how - by bringing together political theory and empirical political science - we can move forward in this herculean task.
Gillian Brock admirably confronts normative political theory's longstanding neglect of global corruption. ... Brock's execution is beautiful-robust theory buttressed by compelling theoretical examples. She shows how problem-oriented work in contemporary theory can illuminate big global issues.
