Demands for social justice are increasingly part of mainstream development debates, including post-2015 policy dialogues that highlight the importance of striving towards ‘resilience for all’. Although the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have galvanised a global consensus to improve human development, the mixed and modest inroads achieved thus far in tackling major development challenges – including the ongoing global financial crisis, rising food prices, and political insecurity underscored by the dynamics of the post-Arab Spring – highlight the need for a stronger policy and programming focus on addressing inequality and social exclusion (Kabeer, 2010; OECD, 2010; ECA et al., 2012).
