Current Research

Some current research:

 

Much of my current research is focused on issues of Global Justice.

 

I recently published:

 

BROCK, G. Global Justice: A Cosmopolitan Account. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 384, 2009.

 

More information about this book is available here:

The book has recently been the subject of a symposium that appeared in the Journal of Global Ethics Volume 5, No. 3, December 2009.  The symposium includes review essays by Chris Armstrong, David Miller, and Darrel Moellendorf.  I respond to these review essays in the same issue on pp. 269-280.

 

More information about this symposium is available here:

Other current research interests include: how equality matters to issues of justice; equality of opportunity and disadvantage; issues surrounding the moral and political status of cultural claims; ethical and justice issues surrounding immigration and emigration; global health ethics; global taxation; economic justice; and I continue work on the moral and political importance of human needs.
