From Theory To Practice I: Passing Judgments Of Exploitation, Mathias Risse, Gabriel Wollner
From Theory To Practice I: Passing Judgments Of Exploitation, Mathias Risse, Gabriel Wollner
San Diego Law Review
In an earlier work, we offered a view on how trade should be treated within a theory of global justice. We proposed an account of exploitation to spell out the nature of the obligations that arise from trading. That account greatly benefits from a detailed development for concrete cases. The goal of this study and its close companion is to explore how our philosophical views help formulate judgments on a range of moral problems that arise from trading and to identify responsibilities of various actors and inform policy responses to instances of exploitation in trade.
To that end we use …
Revising International Law: A Liberal Account Of Natural Resources, Fernando R. Tesón
Revising International Law: A Liberal Account Of Natural Resources, Fernando R. Tesón
San Diego Law Review
In this Article, I defend the view that natural resources originally belong to individuals who have legitimately established private property claims over them. Natural resources do not belong to a collective entity such as the people or the state. My argument is simple. Relying on the Lockean contractarian tradition, I argue that individuals must delegate any resource controlled by the state. This is because all powers of the state are, morally, delegated powers. A group’s claims over natural resources is entirely derivative of the original claims of its members. Only individuals can originally appropriate natural resources; only they have the …
Legitimacy And The International Trade Regime, Thomas Christiano
Legitimacy And The International Trade Regime, Thomas Christiano
San Diego Law Review
Issues of global justice and trade are usually dealt with in terms of what a just system of trade is like and what the distribution of income, opportunities, or welfare ought to be. But the question I address and explore is what a legitimate way of making decisions in the international realm is. This issue has arisen acutely in the case of the formation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and other international institutions. In particular, many have complained that developed countries engaged in hard bargaining with developing countries in the conferences that led up to the formation of the …
Two Conceptions Of Justice And The Dystopia Of Global Justice, Horacio Spector
Two Conceptions Of Justice And The Dystopia Of Global Justice, Horacio Spector
San Diego Law Review
Political associations raise special questions of justice. Some authors contend that those special questions derive from characteristic features of the modern state. For instance, Thomas Nagel argues that two defining features of the political community justify associative redistributive duties that hold among its members but not among members and nonmembers. Those features are the fact that the political community exercises sovereign power over its members by resorting to the imposition of coercive rules and the fact that it exercises that power in the name of its members. In this paper, I will not challenge this assertion but will nonetheless argue …
How To Construct Global Justice, Aaron James
How To Construct Global Justice, Aaron James
San Diego Law Review
Do social relationships between people give rise to any demands of social justice whatsoever? If they do, are they of any practical significance given the relationships living human beings are actually in? And, might they be so significant as to ground a theory of global justice—if not the whole of anything rightly called justice, then at least of the central range of issues in world politics? Finally, could that perhaps be what a political philosophy of global justice should mainly be about?
Here, in bare outline, is how the answers to all of these questions might be “yes,” at least …
