{"product_id":"scales-of-justice-9780231146814","title":"Scales of Justice","description":"\u003cp\u003eUntil recently, struggles for justice proceeded against the background of a taken-for-granted frame: the bounded territorial state. With that \"Westphalian\" picture of political space assumed by default, the scope of justice was rarely subject to open dispute. Today, however, human-rights activists and international feminists join critics of structural adjustment and the World Trade Organization in challenging the view that justice can only be a domestic relation among fellow citizens. Targeting injustices that cut across borders, they are making the scale of justice an object of explicit struggle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspired by these efforts, Nancy Fraser asks: What is the proper frame for theorizing justice? Faced with a plurality of competing scales, how do we know which one is truly just? In exploring these questions, Fraser revises her widely discussed theory of redistribution and recognition. She introduces a third, \"political\" dimension of justice—representation—and elaborates a new, reflexive type of critical theory that foregrounds injustices of \"misframing.\" Engaging with thinkers such as Jürgen Habermas, John Rawls, Michel Foucault, and Hannah Arendt, she envisions a \"postwestphalian\" mapping of political space that accommodates transnational solidarity, transborder publicity, and democratic frame-setting, as well as emancipatory projects that cross borders. The result is a sustained reflection on who should count with respect to what in a globalizing world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nancy Fraser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48277073920251,"sku":"9780231146814","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9780231146814.jpg?v=1772481113","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/scales-of-justice-9780231146814","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
