While the lives of millions of people are overshadowed by poverty
and destitution, a relatively small subset of the world's
population enjoys an unprecedented level of wealth. No doubt the
world's rich have duties to address the plight of the global poor.
But should we think of these as duties of egalitarian justice much
like those applying domestically, or as weaker duties of
humanitarian assistance?
In this book, Laura Valentini offers an in-depth critique of the
two most prominent answers to this question, cosmopolitanism and
statism, and develops a novel normative framework for addressing
it. Central to this framework is the idea that, unlike duties of
assistance--which bind us to help the needy--duties of justice
place constraints on the ways we may legitimately coerce one
another. Since coercion exists domestically as well as
internationally, duties of justice apply to both realms. The forms
of coercion characterizing these two realms, however, differ, and
so the content of duties of justice varies across them. Valentini
concludes that given the nature of existing international coercion,
global justice requires more than statist assistance, yet less than
full cosmopolitan equality.
