Hudson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ******** Please feel free to re-post to appropriate discussion lists and newsgroups Apologies for cross-postings Global Social Justice: Globalization, social justice and sustainability NEXUS GLOBAL SOCIAL JUSTICE: A NEW FORUM FOR POLICY DISCUSSION Contemporary processes of social change are transforming the world, making distant places and peoples increasingly interdependent. As the recent White Paper on International Development argues, global challenges such as eliminating poverty and preserving a sustainable environment cannot be addressed by national governments alone. Global challenges require cooperation, not just between states but also between people of different states, forming a global community. "Global social justice" is a new forum devoted to the development of practical and imaginative ideas to respond to global challenges. This forum has been developed as part of NEXUS, a UK-based organization of people with an interest in contributing to the development of public policy. We would like to invite you - as a policy-maker, an academic, an activist, or a global citizen - to participate. If you have a web-browser, point it at http://www.netnexus.org/themes/global/index.html to find out more. If you don't have a web browser you can subscribe to the e-mail discussion list by sending the message: subscribe GLOBAL to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will then receive an e-mail introducing you to the forum. Thanks for your attention. We look forward to hearing from you.
