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.
This book examines the emergence of a rights-based approach to development as a means to addressing social injustice, poverty and inequality and considers the extent to which it has been able to influence development thinking. The emergence of a rights-based approach has contributed to defining new agendas and perspectives, including ''non-Western'' alternatives. However, as the book demonstrates, the rights agenda has not in fact moved policy and practice forwards towards delivery of wider access to development.
