With that \"Westphalian\" picture of political space assumed by default, the scope of justice was rarely subject to open dispute. Today, however, human-rights activists and international feminists join critics of structural adjustment and the World Trade Organization in challenging the view that justice can only be a domestic relation among fellow citizens. Targeting injustices that cut across borders, they are making the scale of justice an object of explicit struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by these efforts, Nancy Fraser asks: What is the proper frame for theorizing justice? Faced with a plurality of competing scales, how do we know which one is truly just? In exploring these questions, Fraser revises her widely discussed theory of redistribution and recognition. She introduces a third, \"political\" dimension of justice\u0026amp; mdash;representation\u0026amp; mdash;and elaborates a new, reflexive type of critical theory that foregrounds injustices of \"misframing.\" Engaging with thinkers such as J�rgen Habermas, John Rawls, Michel Foucault, and Hannah Arendt, she envisions a \"postwestphalian\" mapping of political space that accommodates transnational solidarity, transborder publicity, and democratic frame-setting, as well as emancipatory projects that cross borders. The result is a sustained reflection on who should count with respect to what in a globalizing world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47581639868567,"sku":"9780231146814","price":3387.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780231146814.webp?v=1774920575","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/scales-of-justice-reimagining-political-space-in-a-globalizing-world-9780231146814","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
