Justice Beyond Borders: A Global Political Theory
Simon Caney
Abstract
Examines which political principles should govern global politics. It explores ethical issues in justice that arise at the global level and addresses questions such as: are there universal values, and if so, what are they; what human rights, if any, are there; are there global principles of distributive justice; should there be a system of supra-state institutions; is national self-determination defensible; when, if ever, may political regimes wage war; and is humanitarian intervention justified?
Keywords: civil rights, cosmopolitanism, distributive justice, ethics, global justice, global politics, human rights, humanitarian intervention, injustice, just war, justice, political theory, principles, society of states, supra-state political institutions, universal values
