BROCK, G. “How Does Equality Matter?” Journal of Social Philosophy, Volume XLII, Number 1, 76-87, 2011. [An article which forms part of an exchange titled, “Global Justice and Equality: An Exchange” with Richard Miller and Darrel Moellendorf, pp. 76-109.] (original) (raw)

The article discusses the intricate relationship between equality and global justice by outlining seven key aspects that underscore how equality should be conceptualized and promoted within global justice frameworks. These elements emphasize the need for equitable access to basic goods such as education, autonomy, and participation in societal decisions, particularly highlighting the injustices faced by marginalized groups like girls in education. The implications of these principles extend to the necessity of democratic equality and fair terms of cooperation in societal arrangements, thus challenging inequalities in both provision and opportunities.
