A vindication of the belief in global or universal justice, which explores both liberal and Marxist grounds for such belief. The book also looks at the obligation to cancel Third World debt.

International Justice and the Third World vindicates belief in global or universal justice, and explores both liberal and Marxist grounds for such belief. It also investigates the presuppositions of belief in development, and relates it to sustainability, to environmentalism, and to the obligation to cancel Third World debt.
