Worldwide suffering caused by large-scale famine as well as poverty, human
rights violations, military interventions or environmental degradation have
a global dimension, because those responsible are not only individuals, but
also states and international institutions. Recently, what some have
perceived as global injustices related to military interventions and
economic exploitation seem to motivate terrorist and piracy attacks that
cause indiscriminate suffering. Having gained an unprecedented urgency, the
topic of global justice has received increasingly public and academic
attention, and has lately become a central issue in moral and political
philosophy. Our conference seeks to be a forum for discussing the most
important theories of global justice, their central concepts and
constraints.
The conference will be held at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of
Bucharest and is organized by The Center for the Study of
Rationality and Beliefs.
Submission of papers
Contributions are expected from researchers from different academic fields
who are interested in the outlined topic or in closely related ones.
Abstracts should be sent by e-mail as attachment at globaljustice@ub-
filosofie.ro until the 30th of January 2012. The deadline for submitting
the full version of your paper is the 1st of March 2012. Along with the
abstract, please send us your contact details: current affiliation, address
and telephone number. The organizers cannot support any travel or accommodation costs.
Follow-up:
The organizers intend to publish a volume including papers from the
conference. Acceptance of the paper for the conference does not guarantee
the inclusion in the proceedings. We kindly remind you that by submitting
the paper you implicitly agree to allow its publication in the conference
proceedings. For easier post-conference editorial work, it would be best if
you would format your paper using Chicago style of reference, but this is
not a formal condition for the publication.
