Until recently, struggles for justice took place against the backdrop of a framework that is assumed: the State territorially delimited. With this image "Westphalian" political space assumed by default, just be discussed on the scope of justice. Today, human rights activists and international feminists reject the view that justice is only a domestic relationship between citizens of a country. In opposition to the injustices that cross borders, make the scale of justice a matter of explicit control.
Nancy Fraser asks: what is the appropriate framework for theorizing about justice and what is the scale really fair? The author reviews his famous theories of redistribution and recognition, and introduces the "representation" as a third dimension "policy" of justice, developing a new type reflective of critical theory that foregrounds the injustice of an allocation under unfairly. Dialogues and discussions with thinkers such as Habermas, Rawls, Foucault, Arendt, provides a post-Westphalian political space that embraces the transnational solidarity, cross-border public sphere, the establishment of democratic frameworks and emancipatory projects across borders. The result is a strong reflection on who has about why, in the field of justice in a globalizing world.
