GOV 239 GLOBAL JUSTICE
A survey of debates in the field of global justice with a focus on three major issues - global economic justice, justice and war, and environmental justice. Questions addressed include: What do we owe to strangers? Should the developing world be compensated for past injustices? Can war ever be justified and fought in a just way? What is the relation between justice and peace? What are our obligations to the non-human world? Should sustainability be a goal? Who, if anyone, should pay to protect biodiversity, maintain the earth's climate and protect the seas? What are our obligations to future generations?
