Nominator's project description
| Professor Lu is a leading political theorist of global, international, and transnational relations. She has made important contributions to critical and normative studies in international political theory, focusing on problems of historic, structural, transitional, and global justice, the concept of alienation and its relation to reconciliation as a political project as well as cosmopolitan moral perspectives and their institutional implications. Professor Lu’s work fosters constructive dialogue between normative and critical theorists and engages empirical scholars of international and transnational institutions, processes, and law. During her stay in Germany, she intends to elaborate further on the concepts of structural dignity and self-determination in relation to global justice. |
