Institutions in Global Distributive Justice

Defining An Institution As A Public System Of Rules That Sets Out Positions, Rights And Duties, Andras Miklos Uses A Philosophical Argument To Analyse The Roles That Social, Economic And Political Institutions Play In Conditioning The Justification, Scope And Content Of Principles Of Justice. He Critically Evaluates A Number Of Positions About The Role Of Institutions In Generating Requirements Of Distributive Justice And Considers Their Implications For The Scope - Global Or Otherwise - Of Justice. He Then Develops A Novel Theory About The Role Political And Economic Institutions Play In Determining The Content Of Requirements Of Distributive Justice And, In A Cosmopolitan Argument Against Statist Positions, Shows How They Can Affect The Scope Of Application Of These Requirements.
