ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at the concept of global justice by scrutinizing theoretical and practical considerations for contemporary discussions on justice-focused issues. It examines whether holistic approaches to global justice are realistic benchmarks, drawing on some recent border-transgressing challenges, including climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, it ponders the creation of a global justice regime: that is, the idea of a universally accepted framework. It highlights emerging challenges to reach this goal with illustrations of the effects of current climate change on migration. Furthermore, it covers the need for broader justice regimes, focusing on the example of global COVID-19 vaccination campaigns and the tensions of vaccine access pitting the Global North against the Global South. Third, it reiterates existing contemporary structural and systemic conditions, such as a multipolar world order, which affect future global justice regime developments. The chapter concludes with some conceptual considerations for a constructive future research agenda, urging a transdisciplinary approach to comprehensive and sustainable results.
