Is the scope of duties of justice limited to the nation-state, as has often traditionally been thought? Or are there cosmopolitan duties of justice duties that apply globally? What might the content of any such duties be? And what implications might the variety of phenomena that tend to be grouped together under the heading of globalization have for these questions? This subject examines a number of the most influential recent arguments about these questions, analyses the concepts that such arguments involve, and thus aims to give graduates the theoretical tools to conduct research on such urgent and fascinating questions for themselves.

This subject is not available as a breadth subject.
