Recenzje

'World Crisis and Underdevelopment is an original, illuminating, solid contribution to a normative political philosophy of globalization. Soaring above specialties, Ingram discusses world poverty, migration, markets' misgivings, human rights, global justice, global constitutionalism, the reform of the UN from the angle of a critical theory inspired by Habermas' discourse-ethics and Honneth's theory of recognition.' Alessandro Ferrara, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy
