Nominator's project description
| Theories of justice in political philosophy have in recent years been criticised as not being sufficiently realistic or politically relevant. The 'cosmopolitan turn' within political theory has been chided as utopian. Miriam Ronzoni's contributions have revitalised a discussion in danger of becoming scholastic, through re-connecting questions of justice with the efficient competences of states within global governance. Ronzoni rejects the exclusive focus on questions of distributive inequality that has long characterised debates in the tradition of John Rawls. Instead, she designs an original approach that is not concerned with the results of distribution, but with improving the capacities of domestic institutions through the support of international organisations. Such a framework can serve as the basis of a global 'background justice' and as a starting point for institutional and policy reform. Her research as a Sofja Kovalevskaja Awardee will concentrate on the regulation of financial markets and of international tax competition. |
