Social Justice and Development

by Behrooz Morvaridi

Overview

Explores why articulating social justice in both development discourse and practice provides the potential for a fresh understanding of global poverty, and one that rises above the current 'impasse'. Suggests how principles of global social justice could be used to shift the development paradigm away from a consensus that hinges on Washington.
