NEXUS GLOBAL SOCIAL JUSTICE: A NEW FORUM FOR POLICY DISCUSSION
Please feel free to re-post to appropriate discussion lists and
newsgroups. Apologies for cross-postings.
GLOBAL SOCIAL JUSTICE: GLOBALIZATION, SOCIAL JUSTICE AND SUSTAINABILITY
If you have a web-browser, point it at:

Contemporary processes of social change are transforming the world, making
distant places and peoples increasingly interdependent. As the recent UK
Government White Paper on International Development argues, global
challenges such as eliminating poverty and preserving a sustainable
environment cannot be addressed by national governments alone. Global
challenges require cooperation, not just between states but also between
people of different states, forming a global community.
"Global social justice" is a new forum devoted to the development of
practical and imaginative ideas to respond to global challenges. This
forum has been developed as part of NEXUS, a UK-based centre-left
organization of people with an interest in contributing to the development
of public policy.
We would like to invite you - as a policy-maker, an academic, an activist,
or a global citizen - to participate.
