Justice unbound? Globalization, states and the transformation of the social bond

Article Abstract:

Liberalization has become an end and world leaders of developed countries have pursued it in the hopes of achieving economic bliss. In its pursuit, social norms, values and the concepts of the civil society have been trampled. Attempts have been made to depoliticize international institutions.
