A Liberal Theory of International Justice advances a novel theory
of international justice that combines the orthodox liberal notion
that the lives of individuals are what ultimately matter morally
with the putatively antiliberal idea of an irreducibly collective
right of self-governance. The individual and her rights are placed
at center stage insofar as political states are judged legitimate
if they adequately protect the human rights of their constituents
and respect the rights of all others. Yet, the book argues that
legitimate states have a moral right to self-determination and that
this right is inherently collective, irreducible to the individual
rights of the persons who constitute them. Exploring the
implications of these ideas, A Liberal Theory of International
Justice addresses issues pertaining to democracy, secession,
international criminal law, armed intervention, political
assassination, global distributive justice, and immigration. A
number of the positions taken in the book run against the grain of
current academic opinion: there is no human right to democracy;
separatist groups can be morally entitled to secede from legitimate
states; the fact that it is a matter of brute luck whether one is
born in a wealthy state or a poorer one does not mean that economic
inequalities across states must be minimized or even kept within
certain limits; most existing states have no right against armed
intervention; and it is morally permissible for a legitimate state
to exclude all would-be immigrants.
