摘要
作为一名西方公民,我是否应对我们全球经济中的严重不公正现象负责,比如血汗工厂劳动?本杰明·麦肯(Benjamin McKean)的精彩新书《颠覆新自由主义:全球正义与自由的外部极限》(Disoriending Neoliberalism:Global Justice and the Outer Limit of Freedom)表明了为什么这是一个误导性的问题——一个无法正确引导我们与新自由主义经济联系的问题。麦肯认为,我们需要认识到,在不公正的跨国经济体制下,我们是不自由的,因此,我们在抵制新自由主义方面有着共同的利益。这意味着,我们应该听从世界各地其他人的团结呼吁,他们的自由也受到新自由主义制度的损害。麦肯的书对全球正义与团结进行了有力而有说服力的新描述;对于平等主义理论家来说,这是一个鼓舞人心的号召。尽管我将对麦肯的论点提出两个友好的批评意见,但我承认这本书是对国际政治理论的重大贡献,它为如何将学术严谨与所谓的活动家理论相结合树立了一个极好的榜样。
As a Western citizen, am I responsible for the serious injustices, such as sweatshop labour, characterising our global economy? Benjamin McKean’s terrific new book, Disorienting Neoliberalism: Global Justice and the Outer Limit of Freedom, shows why this is a misleading question – one that will not properly orient us in relation to the neoliberal economy. McKean argues that we need to recognise that we are unfree under unjust transnational economic institutions and thus we have a shared interest in resisting neoliberalism. This means that we should become disposed to heed the calls for solidarity by others across the world whose freedom is also impaired by neoliberal institutions. McKean’s book offers a powerful and persuasive new account of global (in)justice and solidarity; it is an inspiring call to arms for egalitarian theorists. Although I will raise two friendly critical observations about McKean’s argument, I recognise that this book is a major contribution to international political theory and that it sets a superb example of how to combine scholarly rigour with what might be called activist theorising.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Political Theory provides a high profile research forum. Broad in scope and international in readership, the Journal is named after its geographical location, but is committed to advancing original debates in political theory in the widest possible sense--geographical, historical, and ideological. The Journal publishes contributions in analytic political philosophy, political theory, comparative political thought, and the history of ideas of any tradition. Work that challenges orthodoxies and disrupts entrenched debates is particularly encouraged. All research articles are subject to triple-blind peer-review by internationally renowned scholars in order to ensure the highest standards of quality and impartiality.
