"A very satisfying collection."

International Affairs



"A visionary work concerned with what the principles of social
justice 'ought' to be in the global age."

Political Studies Review

"Presents a wealth of ideas that will be valuable not only for
those in the academic and political spheres, but also for leaders
of foundations and NGOs working to promote social and economic
development."

Effect

"A 'must read' for all searching for a way to make globalisation
more equitable and to renew social policies at a time of
ever-growing interdependence. The huge challenge of the financial
and economic crisis of 2009 makes these reflections all the more
timely."

Kemal Dervis, Former Head of the United Nations Development
Programme, and author of A Better Globalization: Legitimacy,
Governance, and Reform

"From the wreckage of the world's financial system two insights
emerge. Global economic integration demands stronger global
governance; and the political legitimacy of globalisation depends
on an equitable distribution of the fruits of prosperity. Economic
efficiency cannot be separated from social justice. This collection
of essays provides essential reading for the most important debate
of our times."

Philip Stephens, Associate Editor, Financial
Times

"Cramme and Diamond have produced a very timely collection given
growing protectionist impulses and the urgent need to rethink the
governance of globalisation. These original and reflective essays,
written by key thinkers and advocates in the field, challenge
orthodox thinking about social justice under conditions of economic
globalisation. At this moment of global crisis this book deserves
to be read as a reminder that duties to our compatriots and to
others must be and can be reconciled."
