Who: John Dryzek & Ana Tanasoca, co-authors of Democratizing Global Justice
What: Democracy, Altruism, & the Ethics of Transnational Aid
Current practices (however unwittingly) establish a hierarchy in which the poor are subject to the discretionary choices of donors, and are denied the ability to shape what justice means in the global system. We argue that transnational relationships involving private giving from rich to poor should be democratized by involving the poor in decisions about how donated resources should be used.
We contextualize this argument through reference to our new book Democratizing Global Justice (Cambridge University Press, 2021), which is about the more general need to democratize global justice governance (with special reference to the Sustainable Development Goals and climate governance). Inclusive deliberative processes can empower the agents and actors necessary to determine what justice should mean and how it should be implemented.
