The subject examines aspects of international governance which advance social justice. Beginning with a discussion of the notion of social justice within an international context, the subject analyses the impact of international agreements in promoting the aims and objectives of social justice. The focus of the subject is on key structures and processes at the global level (especially the United Nations) and at regional levels (such as the European Union and ASEAN) and their interaction with nation states. It considers these issues in the broad context of economic and social governance as well as in more specific areas such as taxation and labour. Special attention is given to the role of civil society.
