This book offers a meditation on global justice and international
political and legal theory. The author assesses positions in the
current debate over the moral nature and limits of sovereignty. He
also evaluates the normative role sovereignty ought to play in the
practical deliberations of states. The discussion moves from theory
to practice. Coverage starts with a conceptual analysis and moral
critique. It then goes on to consider specific issues. These
include global climate change, secession and self-determination,
human rights, global distributive justice, and immigration. Readers
will learn how states ought to deliberate about and respond to
these important topics. They will also discover potential
institutional structures better suited to resolving these issues
while also respecting state sovereignty. In working through each
specific challenge, the author provides insight into how we ought
to think about challenges facing the international community and
the potential for properly constructed institutions to function as
solutions. These analyses also provide a valuable critical lens to
assess the actions (and omissions) of our leaders. In the end, the
book argues that domestic governments and regional bodies should be
responsible for implementing the chosen course of action. This
would provide a basis for holding political leaders more
accountable.
