DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Two key features of contemporary international polit
 ics are the rise of China and a heightened interest in global justice. How
 ever\, the relationship between the two is rarely explored. What impact mi
 ght China's growing great power status have on debates about global justic
 e? How will the cross-border activism of the past 20 years be affected by 
 Beijing's looming presence in international society? The seminar will addr
 ess these questions by examining Chinese theory and practice in the contex
 t of international engagement with issues of global justice.\n\nChair: Pro
