Promoting Justice Across Borders: The Ethics of Reform Intervention

Lucia Rafanelli, assistant professor of political science and international affairs, interrogates the nuanced ethics of reform intervention to ascertain when attempts to promote justice in foreign societies are morally permissible. In Promoting Justice Across Borders, Rafanelli develops ethical standards for justice-promoting interventions that serve as a model on how to engage in political struggles for justice on a global scale. This text powerfully illustrates how the project of promoting justice everywhere, guided by ethical principles, is a legitimate political concern for all.
