Should governments give special rights to ethnic and cultural
minorities? Should rich countries open their borders to economic
immigrants or transfer resources to poor countries? When framing
and implementing economic and environmental policies, should
current generations take into account the interests of future
generations? If our political community committed a wrong against
another group a hundred years ago, do we owe reparations to current
members of that group?
These are just some of the pressing questions which are fully
explored in this accessible new analysis of justice in the
contemporary world. They force us to reconsider the extent of our
obligations to our fellow citizens, future generations and
foreigners.
Justice in a Changing World introduces the moral debates around
issues such as immigration, national self-determination, cultural
rights and reparations, as well as resource transfers from one
generation to the next and from rich to poor countries, through the
lenses of liberalism, communitarianism and libertarianism. In so
doing, it helps to unravel the complexity of key ethical dilemmas
facing us today.
The book will be a valuable resource for students of political
theory, and will appeal to anyone wishing to reflect on their
deepest values and commitments by putting them to the test of
practical politics.
