GLOBUS is a research project that critically examines the European Union’s contribution to global justice.

Challenges to global justice are multifaceted and what is just is contested. Combining normative and empirical research GLOBUS explores underlying political and structural obstacles to justice. Analyses of the EU’s positions and policies are combined with in-depth studies of non-European perspectives on the practices of the EU. Particular attention is paid to the fields of migration, trade and development, cooperation and conflict, and climate change.

Enhancing justice through binding international regulations

The only sustainable way to solve the problem of unsafe and hazardous shipbreaking practices is binding and effective regulations, argues Ingvild Jenssen.
