Rawls's Justice Challenge in Global Governance

Ming-Sung Kuo

Chapter 5 in Research Handbook on Global Governance, 2025, pp 79-97 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Both justice and governance talks have taken on global significance. Yet, their relationship in the global setting remains unclear. To shed light on the relationship between justice and global governance, a three-layered framework of analysis is proposed: the pursuit of justice beyond states, the institutional framing of global governance according to justice, and the idea of justice as suggested in the present overall architecture of global governance. While the pursuit of justice is not necessarily linked to global governance on the first layer, the idea of justice goes global on the second and third. The ‘political’ question looms large on all three layers of analysis: at the core of the first is the identity of the political framework within which justice challenges are to be met; justice as a challenge to global governance and global governance as a challenge to justice are the key political questions on the second and third, respectively.
