Abstract
This essay links global justice to a materialist theorization of an alternative globalization in order to decenter the formalist current predominating in contemporary human rights discourses. It does so through the concept of the work of global justice: namely, the ethico-political labor and forms of social action that are constitutive of transnational struggles for emancipation. Using this framework, the essay proposes a way out of the human rights blackmail in which radical thinking is mired, by arguing in favor of a politically deontologizing and social constructivist vision of global justice. The latter serves to outline the economic, political, and cultural dimensions of a critical cosmopolitanism grounded in structural transformations of the existing world order.
