Principles in Global Governance: A Global Constitutional Approach to Care, Climate Justice, and the Welfare State

S. Lucia Kula and Kym Oliver

Chapter 6 in Research Handbook on Global Governance, 2025, pp 98-124 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Exploring Global Governance through an intersectional feminist lens, utilising the Disability Justice Principles of ‘Interdependence’ and ‘Sustainability’ (developed by Patty Berne and Sins Invalid), S. Lucia Kula and Kym Oliver challenge the current hegemonic configuration of Borders, Climate Justice, and the Welfare State, arguing that they are violent, unsustainable, and inimical to the achievement of an equitable future. They posit that the borders imposed on ‘the local’ by ‘the global’ operate beyond geographical demarcations and serve to impede the local's ability to communicate with the local. They deem borderless, local–local communion, rooted in the Disability Justice Principles, to be essential to the development of robust, sustainable Global Governance policies that meaningfully enhance the lived realities of the populace. Kula and Oliver encourage us to think creatively about climate solutions, the welfare state, borders, and the potential utility of alternative models of disability, reaffirming the importance of implementing decolonised approaches to current Global Governance issues, which centre the needs and knowledge of the most marginalised.
