Influence Match
Some corporations use their disproportionate lobbying power to obstruct policy. This obstructive lobbying violates most people’s claims to equal political influence. Occasionally, however, other corporations respond by using their disproportionate power to lobby in support of policy. Does this supportive lobbying violate claims to equal influence too? This paper argues that it does, using climate policy as an example. Supportive lobbying does not…
Property Rights, Fossil Fuel Imports, and Climate Change
Shmuel Nili claims that when a country buys fossil fuels from dictatorships it becomes complicit with property rights violations in those dictatorships. Thus, Nili argues, people who have a strong commitment to property rights should support a ban on fossil fuel imports from dictatorships, and a transition to renewable energy. This article critically discusses Nili’s argument. The argument fails to consider competing moral reasons that some peopl…
The ethics of climate activism
Climate activism, and ethical reflection on it, is expanding in line with increased awareness of global warming's destructive effects. The ethics of climate activism has focused on two main questions. First, is there a duty to engage in climate activism? Answers to this question differ regarding how the duty is grounded, how demanding it is, and whether people in certain social roles have special duties to engage in climate activism. The second q…

Undemocratic Climate Protests
Climate change activists sometimes engage in protests that exert coercion on governments, businesses, and citizens, instead of protests that just attempt to persuade them. I argue that these coercive protests are sometimes undemocratic, despite recent attempts in the literature to describe them as democratic. Coercive climate protests do not always improve deliberative decision‐making, and they are a means of exerting control over official decisi…
Utopias and Comparative Assessments of Justice
When we make public policy choices, is it helpful to know how utopia (that is, the perfectly just institutional design) would look? Amartya Sen argues that it is neither necessary, nor sufficient, nor even contributory. He claims that before making a policy choice one should compare several feasible institutional designs to see which promotes justice most (a “comparative assessment” of justice), and that it is misleading to use the perfect design…
Cómo resolver un conflicto distributivo
Cuando dos agentes reclaman legítimamente un mismo bien, una solución posible al conflicto consiste en que (a) el agente con el reclamo de mayor peso normativo obtenga derecho a todo el bien. Pero existe otra solución, que consiste en que (b) el agente con el reclamo de mayor peso obtenga derecho sólo a una parte bien –la parte mayor–, mientras que el agente con el reclamo de menor peso obtenga derecho al menos a una parte del bien –aunque la par…
Conflicts between domestic inequality and global poverty
Current views on global justice often hold that affluent states are under at least two duties: a duty to reduce socioeconomic inequalities at home and a duty to reduce extreme poverty abroad. Potential duty conflicts deriving from resource scarcity can be solved in broadly two principled ways. The ‘lexical’ principle requires all disputed resources to be allocated to the weightiest duty. The ‘proportionality’ principle requires resources to be di…
Pobreza global, ¿una cuestión de justicia o de beneficencia
Algunos autores alegan que los deberes de los ciudadanos de los países ricos hacia los pobres globales son deberes de beneficencia, no de justicia. Esa clasificación tiene consecuencias prácticas relevantes. Los ciudadanos de los países ricos tienen hacia sus propios conciudadanos ciertos deberes de justicia. Los deberes de justicia tienen prioridad sobre los de beneficencia. Por lo tanto, si los deberes de justicia entre conciudadanos de los paí…
