Bertoldi’s research explores alternative conceptions of global justice and world order in ancient, modern, and contemporary political thought. Her publications bridge political theory and international relations, addressing thinkers such as Thucydides, John Locke, Charles Beitz, Stanley Hoffmann, John Rawls, and Iris Young. Her current book project develops a civic conception of global justice to address challenges of poverty and inequality that arise in a plural world. Bertoldi pays special attention to the role of practices of collective justification in construing fairness claims and the importance of preserving avenues for global civil disobedience within broadly multilateral frameworks. Subsequent work will apply the theoretical framework developed in her book to concrete global debates on trade, health, and environment, identifying fair global governance mechanisms to promote principled moderation of power.
