By Lucia Rafanelli *18

Published Aug. 10, 2021

In her new book, Rafanelli explores the ethics of intervention to assess when attempts to promote justice in foreign societies are morally permissible. Portraying justice as an ongoing, legitimate political concern, Promoting Justice Across Borders (Oxford University Press) calls on us to rethink our ethical standards and offers a model for how to engage in political struggles for justice on a global scale, even in peacetime.
