Thomas Pogge on International Relations - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 295 International relations/justice/Pogge/Brown: Pogge(1) suggests that it is legitimate to have separate societies only if they can be seen as the product of a decision that emerges from a kind of meta-original position in which all the inhabitants of the world are represented. The latter may well decide to create separate societies but they are unlikely to endorse Westphalian-style sovereignty norms. >Sovereignty/International political theory. Instead, the units created through this meta-contract will acknowledge responsibilities towards one another. Taxation: Pogge, like Barry, favours a scheme of global taxation (a global resources dividend) and, like Beitz, sees it as best based on natural resources; but in order to meet environmental goals he suggests it should be based on the value of natural resources actually used, rather than on those left in the ground. >Justice/Beitz, >Justice/Barry. This position conveniently raises the issue of borders and international political theory. Since existing boundaries are clearly not the result of any kind of contract - nor are they 'natural' - what, if any, justification can be given for the norm which assigns to state authorities the right to control such borders, and thus creates categories such as 'political refugee' and 'economic migrant'? Pogge suggests none, and the majority of cosmopolitan liberals agree (Barry and Goodin, 1992(2); O'Neill, 1994(3)). 1. Pogge, T. (1989) Realizing Rawls.
