Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015) Human rights, autonomy, and, poverty -- Legitimacy and global justice -- Libertarian obligations to the poor? -- Empirical evidence and the case for aid -- Free trade and poverty -- Making free trade fair -- Conclusion. Expanding obligations The face of the world is changing. The past century has seen the incredible growth of international institutions. How does the fact that the world is becoming more interconnected change institutions' duties to people beyond borders? Does globalization alone engender any ethical obligations? In Globalization and Global Justice, Nicole Hassoun addresses these questions and advances a new argument for the conclusion that there are significant obligations to the global poor. First, she argues that there are many coercive international institutions and that these institutions must provide the means for their subjects to avoid severe poverty. Hassoun then considers the case for aid and trade, and concludes with a new proposal for fair trade in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Globalization and Global Justice will appeal to readers in philosophy, politics, economics and public policy HTTP:URL=https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511845802
