Abstract:
Europe is becoming increasingly multicultural every year, not least as a consequence of the on-going immigration from the Middle-East. Therefore the citizens of each European country also need to think anew those models of socio-political justice that were once constructed for culturally more homogenous nations. In this lecture, Päivänsalo first outlines the conceptual change from an essentially secular, politically liberal heritage towards a more multicultural, dialogical, and transnational approach to justice. Second, he calls attention to the necessity of achieving peace and security both in Europe and in the Middle-East as a precondition for a stable transnational justice, or at least for fostering collaboration in that direction. The importance of viable religious dialogue is highlighted here. Finally, third, Päivänsalo takes a closer look at a particular practical concern, namely the undocumented migrants’ right to health. What types of responses to this challenge have some European states and voluntary organization developed and what kind of directions has e.g. the Global Clinic, a Finnish NGO, supported in this field?
