Global justice must be deliberated rather than just analysed, asserted, and advocated. The concluding chapter recapitulates the main arguments of the book, then reflects critically on the feasibility of democratizing global justice, especially when it comes to the practical proposals for institutional design developed in earlier chapters. An important shift toward more inclusive global governance processes has occurred in recent years and this may pave the way for a more defensible global order. This shift is in contrast to the democratic retreats that have occurred in many national governments. Global governance processes, while still far from deliberative and democratic ideals, have become more inclusive and participatory over time, as we have seen in the case of the Sustainable Development Goals. Promoting global deliberative democracy would be the natural next step. The pursuit of global justice requires deliberative global democratization.
This chapter discusses three issues distinctively evoked by globally diffused Information and Communication Technologies (ICT): (i) the digital divide, (ii) online global citizenship and (iii) global deliberation and democratization. It explores ethical pluralism as a primary framework within which we may take up a global range of diverse ethical frameworks and decision-making traditions used to analyse and reflect upon characteristic issues of Information and Computing Ethics (ICE). In the course of the analysis the chapter uses the core issue of privacy as primary example. ICTs are a primary driver of globalization as they make possible trade, financial transactions and the relocation of labour into lower-cost labour markets. Ethical pluralism provides us with a way of understanding how a single norm may via the reflection and application of judgement apply in very different contexts in very different ways, with regard to notions of privacy in diverse Western cultures.
