Institutions in Global Distributive Justice
(2013)

Abstract
The monograph analyses whether social, economic and political institutions affect justification, the scope and the content of principles of distributive justice. First, it examines whether institutions are necessary for generating requirements of distributive justice, and considers implications for global justice. Second, it develops a novel theory about the role political and economic institutions play in determining the content of requirements of distributive justice, and shows how they can affect the scope of application of these requirements.
The book defends a cosmopolitan conception of distributive justice in which existing institutions do not limit the scope of justice to nation-states. It argues that there are some egalitarian distributive requirements with a global scope. It also shows that political and economic institutions may be necessary to assess alternative distributive shares and to guide and evaluate individual conduct and institutional design. They enable the application of principles of justice.
