Why Strong Moral Cosmopolitanism Requires a World State
Original language description
The article deals with a pivotal conceptual distinction used in philosophical discussions about global justice. Cosmopolitans claim that arguing from the perspective of moral cosmopolitanism does not necessarily entail defending a global coercive political authority, or a ?world-state?, and suggest that ambitious political and economic (social) goals implied in moral cosmopolitanism may be achieved via some kind of non-hierarchical, dispersed and/or decentralized institutional arrangements. I argue thatinsofar as moral cosmopolitans retain ?strong? moral claims, this is an untenable position, and that the goals of cosmopolitan justice, as explicated by its major proponents, require nothing less than a global state-like entity with coercive powers. Mybackground ambition is to supplement some existing works questioning the notion of ?governance without government? with an argument that goes right to the conceptual heart of cosmopolitan thought.
