On Global Justice

Zusatztext "[A] deeply provocative, closely argued, and impressively many-sided book." ---Richard Vernon, Perspectives on Politics Informationen zum Autor Mathias Risse is professor of philosophy and public policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Klappentext Debates about global justice have traditionally fallen into two camps. Statists believe that principles of justice can only be held among those who share a state. Those who fall outside this realm are merely owed charity. Cosmopolitans, on the other hand, believe that justice applies equally among all human beings. On Global Justice shifts the terms of this debate and shows how both views are unsatisfactory. Stressing humanity's collective ownership of the earth, Mathias Risse offers a new theory of global distributive justice--what he calls pluralist internationalism--where in different contexts, different principles of justice apply. Zusammenfassung Presents a theory of global distributive justice - what the author calls pluralist internationalism - where in different contexts, different principles of justice apply. This title explores who should have how much of what we all need and care about, ranging from income and rights to spaces and resources of the earth.
