Opis

This text advances a novel theory of international justice that combines the orthodox liberal notion that the lives of individuals are what ultimately matter morally with the putatively antiliberal idea of an irreducibly collective right of self-governance.

Recenzje

It presents new considerations and genuine alternatives for the debate on global justice. These considerations deserve attention, and can potentially generate lively debate on various themes.
