Conference Announcement Theme: Justice and Legitimacy in Global Governance Type: International Workshop Institution: Department of Political Science, University of St. Gallen Location: St. Gallen (Switzerland) Date: 13.–14.9.2012 __________________________________________________ The topic of global justice is an increasingly important subject of research and has been devoted considerable attention in recent literature. There have been many discussions, for example, of the normative foundations which give rise to the existence of demands of justice. We have also witnessed the development of a number of theories of global justice and many statements on the particulars of what global justice requires. In the context of this debate it is important to investigate which institutional structures are appropriate and legitimate for the implementation and governance of global justice. This workshop seeks to explore research being developed in this area. It seeks to explore which political and social institutions can and should be utilised in realising global justice, what criteria should be used to assess global institutions, the extent to which existing forms of global governance meet these criteria, and what steps can and should be taken to improve the contemporary world order. Papers The following papers will feature at the workshop: 'What Democracy Requires' Sofia Näsström, Uppsala University 'Justice and Accountability in the Global Order' Mathias Risse, Harvard University 'Internationalist Agenda, Transnational Political Action' Miriam Ronzoni, University of Frankfurt 'Human Rights, Sovereignty and the Legitimacy of International Law' John Tasioulas, University College London 'Today's Deep Global (Mis-)Governance' Leif Wenar, Kings College London Workshop papers will be made available for the participants at the beginning of September.
