Review :
This book is a great addition to the global justice literature, covering a wide array of topics ranging from challenges to the universality of human rights, accounts of historical injustice, justifications of official development aid, to proposals to reform the UN Central Emergency Response Fund. Timely, stimulating, and genuinely committed to bridging theory and practice.
