Items related to Global Justice: Defending Cosmopolitanism
What obligations do wealthy people have to ensure that the world's poor achieve a quality of life that is recognizably human? This is the fundamental question of international distributive justice and one that has only been seriously debated in the last 25 years. This book analyzes the relative merits of the core moral perspectives framing the debates, including the universalist, nationalist, patriotism and relativist.

Review:
"[Jones's] book is a well-argued and effective defence of a plausible, though demanding, position about our duties of justice in global society."--Canadian Journal of Political Science
"Jones provides the best overview of the Anglo-American version of this debate currently available; he sets out all the main positions with great clarity, and develops his own ideas....this is an excellent book."--Journal of International Studies
"The arguments of Global Justice persuade us to act differently in ways that would make a difference-significant to ourselves, life-and-death to many others. Throughout a long, intricate and often ingenious argument, Jones steers his preferred vision of cosmopolitanism through the many thickets and marshes of current philosophical debate."--David West, Ethics
"...an admirable book that will bring any reader up to speed on the debates prior to 2000 and provide sufficient background to engage with current debates."--International Criminal Justice Review
