Debates about global justice have traditionally fallen into two
camps. Statists believe that principles of justice can only be held
among those who share a state. Those who fall outside this realm
are merely owed charity. Cosmopolitans, on the other hand, believe
that justice applies equally among all human beings. On Global
Justice shifts the terms of this debate and shows how both views
are unsatisfactory. Stressing humanity's collective ownership of
the earth, Mathias Risse offers a new theory of global distributive
justice--what he calls pluralist internationalism--where in
different contexts, different principles of justice apply. Arguing
that statists and cosmopolitans seek overarching answers to
problems that vary too widely for one single justice relationship,
Risse explores who should have how much of what we all need and
care about, ranging from income and rights to spaces and resources
of the earth. He acknowledges that especially demanding
redistributive principles apply among those who share a country,
but those who share a country also have obligations of justice to
those who do not because of a universal humanity, common political
and economic orders, and a linked global trading system. Risse's
inquiries about ownership of the earth give insights into
immigration, obligations to future generations, and obligations
arising from climate change. He considers issues such as fairness
in trade, responsibilities of the WTO, intellectual property
rights, labor rights, whether there ought to be states at all, and
global inequality, and he develops a new foundational theory of
human rights.
