The IRG has contributed to the 2011 issue of the Global Civil Society Yearbook of the London School of Economics and Political Science in which it contributes two papers:

• Séverine Bellina, « A Plural Approach to the Definition of Social Justice »(Pour une approche plurielle de la définition de la justice sociale), pp. 138-150.

• Martin Vielajus et Nicolas Haeringer, « Transitional Networks of Self-Representation : An Alternative Form of Struggle for Global Justice », pp. 88-101.

Inspired by the globality of justice concerns in the 21st century, Global Civil Society 2011 focuses on how civil society actors around the world are framing, contesting and promoting ideas about justice, as well as their strategies to tackle the myriad injustices people face. It identifies an important shift in the globalisation of concerns about justice – citizens may claim benefits from the nation state, but increasingly groups interacting globally are collectivizing a sense of injustice. In this way global civil society has created and expanded new spaces to reinstall justice as inspiration and arbiter of laws. Combining activist and academic accounts of contemporary struggles, this yearbook provides critical insight into how civil society is remaking justice in a global arena, beyond the confines of the nation state.

Global Civil Society 2011 is published by Palgrave Macmillan (www.palgrave.com).
