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.

The literature on liberal peacebuilding has shown that what the international community thinks of peace is a very specific thing drawn from the Western context, which is linked to the development of the idea of the liberal peace: the idea that economic and political liberalisation create conditions for lasting peace in war-torn societies. Yet, the concept of peace is not a universal one.Academic dialogue on peace-making and peacebuilding from different regions of the world is continuing to bring to fore localised views and experiences to the peacebuilding dialogue. Some of these reflect on inclusive engagement of the marginalised groups in peacemaking, indigenous perspectives on peace and peacemaking and local experiences of various regions. Explicitly or implicitly normative perspectives are always present in the different peacemaking perspectives.Furthermore, amid the transition from unipolar to multipolar world of politics, there are some budding yet interesting shifts that are likely to bring transformations to the understanding and the norms of peace and peacebuilding across the globe. Among many shifts, these include changes in terms of the key global actors, and a shift away from traditional donors as new donors have emerged. All of these changes bring with them new interests, opportunities, and challenges in the understanding of peace, peacemaking and peacebuilding.
