Trade has made the world. Still, trade remains an elusive and
profoundly difficult area for philosophical thought. This novel
account of trade justice makes ideas about exploitation central,
giving pride of place to philosophical ideas about global justice
but also contributing to moral disputes about practical questions.
On Trade Justice is a philosophical plea for a new global deal, in
continuation of, but also at appropriate distance to, post-war
efforts to design a fair global-governance system in the spirit of
the American New Deal of the 1930s. This book is written in the
tradition of contemporary analytical philosophy but also puts its
subject into a historical perspective to motivate its relevance. It
covers the subject of trade justice from its theoretical
foundations to a number of specific issues on which the authors'
account throws light. The state as an actor in the domain of global
justice is central to the discussion but it also explores the
obligations of business extensively, recognizing the importance of
the modern corporation for trade. Topics such as wages injustice,
collusion with authoritarian regimes, relocation decisions, and
obligations arising from interaction with suppliers and
sub-contractors all enter prominently. Another central actor in the
domain of trade is the World Trade Organization. The WTO needs to
see itself as an agent of justice. This book explores how this
organization should be reformed in light of the proposals it makes.
In particular, the WTO needs to endorse a human-rights and
development-oriented mandate. Overall, this book hopes to make a
theoretical contribution to the creation of an exploitation-free
world.
