The article ‘Cooperation, Pervasive Impact, and Coertion: On the Scope (not Site) of Distributive Justice’ by Arash Abizadeh deals with a particular aspect of Rawlsian distributive justice: the question of wheter or not a theory of global distributive justice is possible. Abizadeh’s thesis is cosmopolitan, that is, he claims that distributive justice has a global scope, or at least, that it does so within the conceptual framework of a Rawlsian theory of justice. That position contrasts with the anticosmopolitan one advanced by authors like Rawls himself and some of his principal commentators, according to which distributive justice does not have a global scope.
El artículo ‘Cooperation, Pervasive Impact, and Coerción: On the Scope (not Site) of Distributive Justice’ de Arash Abizadeh versa sobre un aspecto particular dentro del ámbito de la teoría de la justicia distributiva que John Rawls comenzó: el aspecto sobre si es posible o no una teoría de la justicia distributiva a nivel global. La tesis que sostiene Abizadeh es cosmopolita, esto es, sostiene que la justicia distributiva tiene alcance global, o al menos dentro del marco conceptual de la teoría de la justicia rawlsiana. Tal postura se contrasta con la postura anticosmopolita que sostienen autores como el propio Rawls y varios de sus principales comentaristas, según la cual la justicia distributiva no tiene un alcance global.
