Philosophers have never shied away from interrogating the nature of
our obligations beyond borders. From Hobbes to the international
lawyers Grotius, Pufendorf, Vattel, and of course Kant, modern
philosophy has always attempted to define the nature and shape of a
just international order, and the types of mutual obligations
members of different political communities might share. In today's
hyper-connected world, these issues are more important than ever
and have been an impetus to a political theory with global scope
and aspirations. Global Political Theory offers a comprehensive and
cutting-edge introduction to the moral aspects of global politics
today. It addresses foundational aspects of global political theory
such as the nature of human rights, the types of distributive
obligations that we have toward distant others, the relationship
between just war theory and global distributive justice, and the
legitimacy of international law and global governance institutions.
In addition, it features analyses of key applied moral debates in
global politics, including the ethical aspects of climate change,
the moral issues raised by the mobility of financial capital, the
justness of different international trade regimes, and the
implications of natural resource ownership for human welfare and
democratic political rule. With contributions from leading scholars
in the field, this accessible and lively book will be essential
reading for students and teachers of political theory, philosophy
and international relations.
