Call for Papers! DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE IN INTERNATIONAL LAW! 3-4 October 2024!
LUISS Guido Carli, Rome (Italy)
The Conference will convene in Rome, at LUISS Guido Carli, on Thursday 3 and Friday 4 October 2024, alongside the meetings of the 10th Commission (“Distributive Justice in International Law”) and the 16th Commission (“The Place of Social Justice in International Law”) of the Institut de droit international. It is co-organised by the LUISS Centre for International and Strategic Studies, the University of Cambridge, Centre for Environment, Energy and Natural Resources Governance (C-EENRG) and the European University Institute, Environmental Challenges and Climate Change Governance Research Cluster.
GENERAL THEME OF THE CONFERENCE
The Conference will focus on the overall theme “Distributive Justice in International Law”. This theme is a central tenet of moral and political philosophy from classical thinkers like Plato, Aristotle or Kant to Hannah Arendt, John Rawls, Hans Jonas, Ronald Dworkin, Michael Walzer, Onora O’Neill, Elinor Östrom, Peter Singer or Amartya Sen, among particularly influential thinkers. In broad terms, the concept alludes to the fair allocation of societal resources, costs, and benefits among the members of a community, thus involving considerations of equity and justice. Over time, distributive justice has received wide-ranging attention from scholars working in different fields of study such as moral, political, and legal theory, sociology, and economics, who have contributed valuable insights and methodologies to approach the topic.
