SUMMARY:Human Rights\, Coercive Power\, and the Idea of Global Justice
DESCRIPTION:\n	Tan Ankui (Associate Professor\, Department of Political Sci
 ence\, School of Government\, Sun Yat-sen University\; HYI Visiting Schola
 r)\n	Chair/discussant: Eric Beerbohm (Frederick S. Danzinger Associate Pr
 ofessor of Government and Social Studies\, Harvard University)\n\n\n	The c
 ontemporary idea of global justice represents a radical theoretical develo
 pment of social justice. Based on an institutional conception of human rig
 hts and the causal impacts of today’s global order on poverty and inequa
 lity\, Thomas Pogge and some other philosophers argue that Rawlsian egalit
 arian justice should be extended from the domestic realm to the global. Th
 is presentation attempts to debunk this idea in a systematic way. The argu
 ment will focus on four closely related points. First\, the institutional 
 conception of human rights is not justifiable. Second\, the deduction from
  causal impacts to moral responsibilities is both intellectually and moral
 ly invalid. Third\, the egalitarian justification for a national order is 
 based on its coercive character which is absent in the global order. Fourt
 h\, national borders\, although empirically contingent\, will not be moral
 ly arbitrary any more when the state power is legitimized by domestic egal
 itarian justice.
