Global Institutions And Responsibilities: Achieving Global Justice

This volume combines original essays by political philosophers, legal theorists, and economists into a spirited debate about the practical dilemmas of globalization. It integrates rigorous thinking about the principles of global justice with concrete discussions of the UN, the WTO, the World Bank, and the rules of war. It thereby enriches moral theorizing by engaging it in real-world issues and also provides solid moral grounds for designing and assessing reforms of present international rules and organizations.
