Tesón Paperback, 293 Pages, Published 2015 by Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-1-107-53602-9, ISBN: 1-107-53602-2 "The current global-justice literature starts from the premise that world poverty is the result of structural injustice mostly attributable to past and present actions of governments and citizens of rich countries.

The Justice Question What do we owe other people? An ancient answer is : their due. This is helpful only to the extent that it can be determined what that due may be.

The authors critique the dominant interest-based theory of voting and offer a competing theory, which they term an "expressive" theory of electoral polit ..." |
