Conference summa ry Global justice has become a central focus of research in contemporary political philosophy. While political theorists and philosophers have been engaged with the philosophical challenges related to determining the natu re\, ground\, and content of global justice\, this literature is only just beginning to assess and incorporate the moral relevance of the historical context of colonialism that defined global relations from the 16th to the 20th century. While historical colonialism is universally acknowledged as a historical wrong\, and although the institutionalized colonial structur e of international and transnational relations was officially repudiated b y the United Nations in 1960\, contemporary theories of global justice rar ely take historical injustice into account\, and international and global relations continue in practice to be structured by deep inequities. This conference will address questions raised by historical colonialism and its legacies for global justice debates. One set of questions has to do with the principle of self-determination that grounded the decolonization movem ent. What is the value of self-determination? What are the implications of recognizing a group’s self-determination rights\, for resource\, territor ial and jurisdictional claims? Does self-determination legitimize armed re sistance by non-state groups against contemporary coercive state-building projects? And how do self-determination rights relate to distributive clai ms: do principles of distributive justice take priority over all self-dete rmination claims? Another set of questions examines the relationship betwe en demands for justice and the search for reconciliation. Is reconciliatio n possible without self-determination for groups that were forcibly incorp orated into settler states\, such as Canada? Does reconciliation include j ustice\, involve an alternative form of justice\, or entail various compro mises of justice? In addressing questions about self-determination\, just ice\, and reconciliation\, the conference aims also to confront worries ab out the parochialism and ethnocentrism of current discussions in political theory about global justice.
