{"product_id":"scales-of-justice-nancy-fraser-9780231146814","title":"Scales of Justice: Reimagining Political Space in a Globalizing World","description":"\u003cp\u003eUntil recently, struggles for justice proceeded against the background of a taken-for-granted frame: the bounded territorial state. With that \"Westphalian\" picture of political space assumed by default, the scope of justice was rarely subject to open dispute. Today, however, human-rights activists and international feminists join critics of structural adjustment and the World Trade Organization in challenging the view that justice can only be a domestic relation among fellow citizens. Targeting injustices that cut across borders, they are making the scale of justice an object of explicit struggle. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInspired by these efforts, Nancy Fraser asks: What is the proper frame for theorizing justice? Faced with a plurality of competing scales, how do we know which one is truly just? In exploring these questions, Fraser revises her widely discussed theory of redistribution and recognition. She introduces a third, \"political\" dimension of justice--representation--and elaborates a new, reflexive type of critical theory that foregrounds injustices of \"misframing.\" Engaging with thinkers such as J?gen Habermas, John Rawls, Michel Foucault, and Hannah Arendt, she envisions a \"postwestphalian\" mapping of political space that accommodates transnational solidarity, transborder publicity, and democratic frame-setting, as well as emancipatory projects that cross borders. The result is a sustained reflection on who should count with respect to what in a globalizing world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Fraser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231146817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231146814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Nancy Fraser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994822574335,"sku":"9780231146814","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9cfb9b4-adbb-4fb1-ab70-2ddcf6b85767.jpg?v=1683332382","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scales-of-justice-nancy-fraser-9780231146814","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
