Combining deep moral argument with extensive factual inquiry,
Richard Miller constructs a new account of international justice.
Though a critic of demanding principles of kindness toward the
global poor and an advocate of special concern for compatriots, he
argues for standards of responsible conduct in transnational
relations that create vast unmet obligations. Governments, firms
and people in developed countries, above all, the United States, by
failing to live up to these responsibilities, take advantage of
people in developing countries.
Miller's proposed standards of responsible conduct offer answers to
such questions as: What must be done to avoid exploitation in
transnational manufacturing? What framework for world trade and
investment would be fair? What duties do we have to limit global
warming? What responsibilities to help meet basic needs arise when
foreign powers steer the course of development? What obligations
are created by uses of violence to sustain American global power?
Globalizing Justice provides new philosophical foundations for
political responsibility, a unified agenda of policies for
responding to major global problems, a distinctive appraisal of
'the American empire', and realistic strategies for a global social
movement that helps to move humanity toward genuine global
cooperation.
"A work of great political urgency. The theoretical position ... is
fresh and original ... No other recent book on Miller's subject
displays a similar combination of philosophical imagination and
deep engagement in the realities of global political and economic
life."
Charles Beitz, Princeton University, The Idea of Human Rights
"Miller breaks a new path. ... a superb example of applied ethics.
Its recommendations cannot be ignored by those of us who are
critical of American foreign policy, but do not know exactly what
alternative to advocate." John Roemer, Yale University
