Coercion and the limits of justice. Considerations on Nagel and Blake
Abstract
Nagel and Blake deny the existence of legitimate claims to equal distributive justice at the transnational or global level on the basis of the idea of coercion as the fundamental criterion for distinguishing the intra-state from the supra-state context. This article argues against this restriction. Firstly, the arguments presented by both authors are rebutted and, secondly, some general questions are raised that put in doubt that the criterion of coercion is adequate to interpret the perspective according to which the (basic) structure of society is, following Rawls, the primary object of (distributive) justice.Downloads
