Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: A number of political philosophers have argued that there are global principles of distributive justice. Many of these political philosophers base their case for these principles on, among other things, the claim that there is a global economy. This paper explores the moral relevance of global interdependence and concludes that it does not possess the fundamental moral significance frequently attributed to it. The paper begins by drawing attention to four key issues that need to be addressed to show that global interdependence is morally salient: Q1: What is global interdependence? Q2: What kind of moral relevance might it be said to possess? (Does it dictate: (a) the scope of justice? Or, (b) the appropriate distributive criteria? Or, (c) the distribution of duties?) Q3: What is the relationship between the amount of global interdependence and the scope of justice, the appropriate distributive criteria and the distribution of duties? Q4: What is the relationship between the type of global interdependence and the scope of justice, the appropriate distributive criteria and the distribution of duties? The paper then explores three distinct arguments as to why global interdependence is morally significant, applying each to the above four questions. It concludes that none of these arguments establishes that global interdependence bears either on the scope of justice or the appropriate distributive principle but that they do indicate that global interdependence possesses moral relevance because it affects people’s duties to uphold the rights of others.
