Abstract

Philosophical work on educational justice has had a domestic focus. It was shaped by theories of domestic justice in the era before political philosophers were thinking about global justice. The wide-ranging debates on global justice within contemporary political philosophy have hardly influenced the debates on educational justice. We now have theories of global justice and so it is time to think about global justice and education. The aim of this chapter is to transcend the domestic framing of the current discussion on educational justice by presenting a democratic conception of global educational justice. Before laying out this conception, the chapter outlines the “cosmopolitan plateau” of the contemporary discourse on global justice as well as the domestic focus of the existing conceptions of educational justice.
