Explotación y justicia global

Abstract

Through an assessment of the normative implications of economic exploitation, the article seeks to strengthen the thesis that principles of egalitarian distributive justice should apply globally. The existence of an international economic order that produces relations of exploitation demands the application of the standards of an egalitarian distributive justice for two kinds of reasons. First, this is because exploitation must be justified in a similar way and for similar reasons as coercion. Second, this is because the existence of exploitation implies high levels of institutional and economic cooperation and interdependence.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/s0718-090x2018000100105
