    摘要、提要註: Poverty is quintessentially an issue of inequality or lack of socialjustice within and between nation states. And yet mainstream development theory and institutions of global governance continue to couch reducing poverty as a policy objective, rather than focus on underlying issues of inequality. This book confronts the failings of neo-liberalism and the global governance institutions that promote it. The aim is to explain how the current structure of global governance, which is biased towards the powerful nation states, could be radically changed through the principles of global socialjustice to deliver a mechanism for addressing inequality, and ultimately poverty. Social Justice andDevelopmentmakes a significant contribution to current debates around developmenttheory and policy.It explores why articulating social justice in development provides the potential for a fresh approach to global poverty, and one that would overcome the current theoretical b1 simpasse b2 s. It isessentially an optimistic text that suggests how the principles of global social justice could be used to shift the development paradigmfrom a consensus that hinges on Washington to one that is global.
