Groups as intergenerational agents
Laws and political conventions impose intergenerational obligations on states and corporations. Germany finished paying reparations for World War I to Allied nations in 2010 and has been making payments to Jewish survivors of the Holocaust for over six decades. The corporation James Hardie continues to pay compensation to former workers and their families for its failure to protect them from dangers of exposure when it mined asbestos in Australia…
Apologizing for Historical Injustices
An apology is supposed to be given by a wrongdoer to those he or she wronged. When wrongs are historical, wrongdoers and victims are no longer in existence. How then is an apology possible? What meaning can it have? I defend the view that many apologies for historical injustices can, and should be, understood as an admission of guilt and expression of regret by a representative of the perpetrating agent to those collectives and their representati…
The Fracking Debate
Women and Humanitarian Intervention
This chapter examines the prospects for the R2P framework in combating women’s oppression, with specific attention to Bosnia in the 1990s and in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime. It argues that while mass rape in Bosnia did constitute ‘just cause’ for humanitarian intervention, other desiderata, like proportionality and likelihood of success, present greater difficulty. The chapter notes two assumptions commonly present in the humanitarian in…
The ethics of intergenerational relationships
According to the relational approach we have obligations to members of future generations not because of their interests or properties but because, and only because, they are our descendants or successors. Common accounts of relational duties do not explain how we can have obligations to people who do not yet exist. In this defence of the relational approach I examine three sources of intergenerational obligations: the concern of parents for thei…
Justice and World Order
The political changes of recent years and the problems of poverty, the environment and nationalism have led to calls for the establishment of a just world order. But what would such a world be like? This book considers the concept of international justice as it has developed in traditional political theory from Hobbes to Marx and in contemporary writing on the subject. It develops a theory of international justice designed to take account of both…
Is Political Apology a Sorry Affair
Making apologies is one of the ways that governments have attempted to deal with past injustices. However, political apologies are often criticised for being meaningless or morally suspect. I will argue that an apology signals the commitment of those who make it, sponsor it and support it to a national undertaking, and whether we can regard an apology as meaningful depends on our reasons for thinking that this undertaking has been initiated and w…
A Theory of Intergenerational Justice
Intergenerational Justice
In this timely study, Thompson presents a theory of intergenerational justice that gives citizens duties to past and future generations, showing why people can make legitimate demands of their successors and explaining what relationships between contemporary generations count as fair. What connects these various responsibilities and entitlements is a view about individual interests that both argues that individuals are motivated by intergeneratio…
Apology, historical obligations and the ethics of memory
This article defends a conception of citizenship and political solidarity that encompasses an ethics of memory and the recognition of obligations that come from history. It claims that citizens ought to remember the deeds of their predecessors and to apologize and make recompense for historical injustices. To establish that such obligations exist it is necessary to contend with a tradition of liberal philosophical thought that regards history as …

Reasoning about Justice in Global Society|spagf|ro|epagf
A moral theory of justice ought to be practical. This essay sets out the criteria that a theory needs to satisfy in order to count as practical and it argues that at the present time there is no practical theory of global justice that is also morally adequate. This conclusion is reached through a critical examination of the main strategies adopted by philosophers and political theorists for reasoning about justice in global affairs. The failure i…
Historical Injustice and Reparation
Environment as Heritage
The Apology Paradox
Some leaders and citizens think it appropriate to apologize for historical injustices like slavery or the dispossession of indigenous people. But can we sincerely say ‘Sorry’ for the deeds of our forebears? By making an apology we are expressing regrets for what they did: we are saying that we prefer that these deeds had not been done. However, if these deeds had not been done, history would have been different, and probably we would not exist. S…
Aesthetics and the Value of Nature
Towards a green World order
Global environmental problems need a political solution. One of the most difficult problems for environmental political theory is to determine what this solution would be. There are two basic conditions that any proposed ‘world order’ must satisfy: it must ensure that individuals and communities comply with environmental prescriptions, and that decision‐making is flexible enough to cope with environmental problems in all their complexity. Common …
