Sovereign Justice gathers insights from scholars across continental and analytic traditions to explore the interplay between global justice and the nation-state, focusing on the moral significance of national boundaries and cosmopolitanism. The work is structured into four sections. The first section examines cosmopolitan approaches to global justice, featuring Kok-Choir Tan's overview of current challenges and contrasts with other theoretical perspectives, alongside Etinson's clarification of cosmopolitanism and De Angelis's assessment of its argumentative landscape. The second section addresses specific normative issues, including global egalitarianism, the moral relevance of national borders, and the interplay between national sovereignty and global justice. The third section highlights Rawls's contributions to the global justice discourse, including a discussion on Kantian "aesthetic judgement," as explored by Alessandro Ferrara in relation to international political theory. Lastly, the fourth section focuses on economic justice, discussing principles of economic equality amidst globalization and Pogge's concept of a global resources dividend. This volume offers a comprehensive evaluation of contemporary debates and significant contributions, making it a valuable resource for both scholars and students.
