CABRITA, Maria João. Between the duties of domestic and global justice: a matter of priority. Diacrítica [online]. 2012, vol.26, n.2, pp.249-265. ISSN 0807-8967.

In the heart of egalitarian liberalism, the debate over the scope of distributive justice reflects two distinct positions: a) which argues that the duty of justice concerns only the domestic society and takes the basic structure as the first subject of justice, like John Rawls; and b) which denotes the global scope of the duty of justice and the interdependence between the domestic basic structures and the global basic structure - Barry, Pogge, and Beitz Tan, among others. Within this latter route, some theorists argue not only that the difference principle is the most appropriate principle of global distributive justice, as they also consider the primacy of the global difference principle over the domestic difference principle (Pogge and Tan). In this paper I will analyze how far this priority can lead the egalitarian liberalism into a deadlock situation. Under this light, I pay a closer attention to Thomas Pogge's moral cosmopolitanism - illustrative of one of the many features of contemporary cosmopolitan philosophy about justice.

Palavras-chave : duties of justice (domestic and global); person; world citizen; identity; responsibility; moral cosmopolitanism.
