Global Justice Questions and Answers

Q: Thomas Nagel claims, people are in a.............................only if they belong to the same state.

For Nagel, people are in a justice relationship only if they belong to the same state.In 'The Problem of Global Justice' (2005), Thomas Nagel argues that the demands of socioeconomic justice arise only among people who live together under a common sovereign authority, which coerces them and acts in their name. Outside a shared state there are humanitarian duties, but not obligations of justice in this full sense. This is his 'political conception' of justice, opposed to cosmopolitan views.The other options do not describe his claim: natural, human and contractual relationships exist across state boundaries.

Q: ............... sees Nagel's claim about states as 'a piece of empirical political sociology'.

The paper's key is Julius.Nagel's claim, in his article 'The Problem of Global Justice' (2005), is that the demands of distributive justice apply only among people who share a state. A. J. Julius answered it directly in 'Nagel's Atlas' (Philosophy & Public Affairs, 2006). Hobbes died in 1679 and Rawls in 2002, so neither can have called Nagel's 2005 claim empirical political sociology.I could not trace the quoted phrase to a particular author, so I could not tell Julius from Cohen by the wording itself; the answer rests on the key and on Julius being the critic who engaged Nagel on this claim.

Q: According to ................., there are no standards of justice that are globally significant.

The view is Thomas Nagel's.In his essay 'The Problem of Global Justice' (2005), Nagel argued that demands of justice arise only among people who share a sovereign state that coerces them and acts in their name. Since there is no world sovereign, he concluded that there are no globally binding standards of justice, only weaker humanitarian duties. This is the political conception of justice that cosmopolitan writers have answered.Hobbes said justice depends on a sovereign but wrote of states, not of global justice debates. Rawls extended his theory to the society of peoples in The Law of Peoples, and Julius Stone wrote on justice in a sociological jurisprudence; neither denies global standards in Nagel's terms.

Q: According to ..................., 'actual justice cannot be achieved except within a sovereign state.'

The key gives Thomas Hobbes.The idea that justice exists only where there is a sovereign power to define and enforce it is Hobbes's: in Leviathan, where there is no common power there is no law, and where no law, no injustice. Thomas Nagel restates this as the Hobbesian view in The Problem of Global Justice (2005), arguing that, as Hobbes held, the demands of justice apply fully only within a sovereign state, which is why the quotation is linked with Hobbes.Rawls applied his principles of justice to the basic structure of a society rather than tying them to sovereignty, and Julius Stone wrote on justice and the province of law without this claim.

Q: Who among the following argued, 'actual justice cannot be achieved except within a sovereign state' ?

The argument is Thomas Hobbes'.In Leviathan (1651) Hobbes held that in the state of nature, without a common power to keep people in awe, there is no law and therefore no justice or injustice. Justice exists only once a sovereign has been set up to make and enforce covenants, so it can be achieved only within a sovereign state.Rawls grounds justice in principles chosen behind a veil of ignorance, Julius Stone wrote on the province and function of law and on justice in a sociological sense, and Cohen is not associated with this claim.
