Global Justice
Global Justice
In this course, we will investigate questions of justice that arise in global affairs. We will inquire into whether there are moral principles that
constrain the actions of states and how these principles support a conception of global justice. Also, we will seek to understand what global
responsibilities are entailed by global justice. Specific topics that will be considered include global distributive justice, world poverty, human
rights, humanitarian intervention, and the relationship between global justice and nationalistic moral concerns. Authors will include Beitz,
Nussbaum, O'Neill, Pogge, Rawls, Singer, Miller, and Walzer. 3 hrs. sem.
