Description
This panel explores how justice is contested, constructed, and experienced across borders, institutions, and everyday life. Bringing together perspectives from international studies, the papers examine the intersections of climate change, displacement, development, and global governance, revealing how inequality and exclusion are embedded within both formal institutions and lived realities. Particular attention is paid to how climate induced vulnerability reshapes questions of security, peace, and rights, particularly in the Global South. The panel also considers how development is framed as both political rhetoric and lived reality, as well as how international institutions produce and legitimise their own forms of expertise and authority. Further, it examines how care, intimacy, and belonging are represented within global economic discourse, complicating dominant narratives of technical neutrality. Together, these contributions highlight the uneven distribution of justice across global systems, while foregrounding the voices and negotiations of those most affected. The panel offers a critical, interdisciplinary contribution to debates on justice, exclusion, and global inequality.
