POLSC402: Global Justice

Watch this lecture delivered by Walzer on Global and Local Justice. Building on his earlier work concerning distributive justice within a society, Walzer offers a commentary on the pursuit of distributive justice in a global context. He recognizes the desirability of basing global justice on a universal normative framework for justice. He simultaneously acknowledges the inherent problems of a universalist approach, such as the lack of an overarching global authority and the lack of a common philosophical set of underpinnings.
