"Marek Hrubec has long been a top international thinker on global interactions and social justice. His new book deserves close attention by all those concerned with contemporary world tensions and alternatives to hegemony and authoritarianism." – Jerry Harris, National Secretary, Global Studies Association of North America, Chicago"Marek Hrubec has given us a theoretical and historical tour de force on critical social theory in relation to the epochal events of the past half a century and the struggle for global social justice. Coming at a time of great suffering worldwide in the face of acute crisis in the world capitalist system, his theoretical and analytical formulations on global social justice will be of great importance for those seeking to make sense of the world-historic conjuncture we face at the quarter-century mark as well as for activists from the diverse social movements, both South and North, struggling for a better world." – William I.

Robinson, Distinguished Professor of Sociology, University of California at Santa Barbara"In this book, Marek Hrubec gives Critical Theory a global perspective. He accurately analyzes the unsustainability of imposed conservative liberalism and counters it with global justice and democratic socialism that takes the Global South seriously." –Emil Sobottka, Professor, PUCRS University, Porto Alegre, Brazil "This impressive book draws on the very important issue of global social justice, related to the historical events of the 20th century and the major international conflicts of this century. Marek Hrubec analyses the issue of global justice dealing with a perspective of critical theory and further formulates an alternative theory of global social justice for anticipating the future. This book is full of insightful thinking and is worth reading and necessary reading." – Wei Xiaoping, Distinguished Professor, Institute of Philosophy, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing
