Gillian Brock develops a viable cosmopolitan model of global
justice that takes seriously the equal moral worth of persons, yet
leaves scope for defensible forms of nationalism and for other
legitimate identifications and affiliations people have. Brock
addresses two prominent kinds of skeptic about global justice:
those who doubt its feasibility and those who believe that
cosmopolitanism interferes illegitimately with the defensible scope
of nationalism by undermining goods of national importance, such as
authentic democracy or national self-determination. The model
addresses concerns about implementation in the world, showing how
we can move from theory to public policy that makes progress toward
global justice. It also makes clear how legitimate forms of
nationalism are compatible with commitments to global justice.
Global Justice is divided into three central parts. In the first,
Brock defends a cosmopolitan model of global justice. In the
second, which is largely concerned with public policy issues, she
argues that there is much we can and should do toward achieving
global justice. She addresses several pressing problems, discussing
both theoretical and public policy issues involved with each. These
include tackling global poverty, taxation reform, protection of
basic liberties, humanitarian intervention, immigration, and
problems associated with global economic arrangements. In the third
part, she shows how the discussion of public policy issues can
usefully inform our theorizing; in particular, it assists our
thinking about the place of nationalism and equality in an account
of global justice.
