The globalization of trade, investment, and finance continues apace. Many have benefited from this, but deep inequalities persist. This book argues that the interconnections established by globalization make possible a critique of its inequality. For those who take seriously human dignity, equality is a basic presumption of social institutions.

Against the backdrop of globalization and mounting evidence of the corporate subversion of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights paradigm, Anna Grear interrogates the complex tendencies within law that are implicated in the emergence of 'corporate humanity'. Grear presents a critical account of legal subjectivity, linking it with law's intimate relationship with liberal capitalism in order to suggest law's special receptivity to the corporate form. She argues that in the field of human rights law, particularly within the Universal Declaration of Human Rights paradigm, human embodied vulnerability should be understood as the foundation of human rights and as a key qualifying characteristic of the human rights subject. The need to redirect human rights in order to resist their colonization by powerful economic global actors could scarcely be more urgent.

What does it mean to say that a particular war is just or unjust, that terrorism is always wrong, or that torture can sometimes be morally justified? What are the moral bases for the possession or use of nuclear weapons, intervening in other countries’ civil wars, or being a bystander to genocide? Such questions take us to the heart of what is morally right and wrong behaviour in our world. Global Violence: Ethical and Political Issues provides readers with the analytical tools to better understand the suppositions that underlie the debates about such questions, as well as advances its own reasoned and informed ethical analyses of these topics. The book engages different normative approaches from the fields of ethics, political theory, and international relations and uses them to examine a set of case studies on the subjects of inter-state and civil war, nuclear weapons, terrorism, torture and genocide.

This groundbreaking book challenges Western-centric approaches to peace and peacebuilding, offering diverse perspectives from across the globe. It reveals how peace is understood, negotiated, and sustained in varied contexts, moving beyond the limits of the liberal peace model, which links stability to economic and political liberalization. Highlighting local experiences, indigenous knowledge, and inclusive engagement with marginalized communities, the book underscores the importance of context-specific approaches to building lasting peace. In an era of shifting geopolitics, as the world moves from a unipolar to a multipolar order, new actors and emerging donors are reshaping priorities and practices. These developments bring both opportunities and challenges, signaling transformative shifts in global peacebuilding norms. Through thought-provoking insights and region-focused analyses, the book invites readers to rethink established paradigms and embrace evolving, locally grounded visions of peace. It offers a compelling guide for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in the future of global stability.
