“…This article is predominantly concerned with SIII. I assume that the proposals analysed by Pogge (2005) and Buchanan et al (2011) are desirable and feasible in the hard sense demanded at SI. 7 To conform to SII, I explicate the core of each proposal, but do not change their underlying structure.…”

“…To engage this task -and show how this strategy can contribute to world politics -I look at two proposals to reform the system of the international IPR regime. The proposals by Pogge (2005) and Buchanan et al (2011) defend normative first principles (SI) and provide an institutional scheme for realisation (SII). However, the feasibility assessments are left wanting.…”

“…Their proposal thus begins from a very similar moral premise (SI) to that of Pogge: building justice beyond the state requires a central concern for individual human rights, autonomy and empowerment. Buchanan et al (2011) propose to construct a new global institution (SII) to ameliorate the lack of creation, innovation and diffusion of essential medicine: the Global Institute for Justice in Innovation (GIJI). The GIJI 'would be an international organisation designed to construct and implement a set of rules and policies governing the diffusion of innovations, on the basis of a sound set of principles.…”

“…Third, to gain traction on my argument, I analyse prescriptions made in the field of intellectual property rights (IPR). Thomas Pogge (2005) and Buchanan et al (2011) have separately advanced institutional proposals to reform the IPR patent system. I explain both sets of proposals, and suggest that a more rigorous feasibility assessment is required.…”

Advancing Justice and Democracy ‘beyond’ the State: Feasibility through Flexibility

The literature on international political theory is replete with proposals to make world politics a more just and democratic place. This article explores how the cosmopolitan design project can be made more tractable in a world composed of sovereign nation states. Specifically, it argues that flexibility mechanisms-tools common in international cooperation-enhance the feasibility of design. The article draws upon the recent work on political feasibility and argues that economic, institutional and cultural constraints can be overcome by using flexibility mechanisms. In order to gain traction on the argument, prescriptions made in the field of intellectual property rights are analysed.

“…Each of these risks is particularly worrisome since predictions that violence may occur are generally more subject to error and bias than observations that it is already occurring. 13 The central issues are the potential for the abuse of a permissive rule that justifies the preventive use of force but more importantly (and more generally) the moral implications of 'epistemic uncertainty'. Their solution takes the form of proposals for institutional reform that could mitigate such risks so as to defeat the argument in favour of inaction.…”

Human rights and the use of force: Assertive liberalism and just war

This paper critically explores the growing assertiveness with which liberalism has approached questions of the just use of force since 9/11. The liberal position rests upon broad claims about the centrality of human rights concerns to considerations of the justice of war. The claim is that a liberal-cosmopolitan respect for human rights forces us to reconsider the conservative, generally prohibitive, position on the use of force defended by traditional just war theory and enshrined in international law. This argument is has been most fully developed by Allen Buchanan in several important books and papers and it is Buchanan's position that forms the basis for the critique of the assertive cosmopolitan attitude to the use of force that is offered in this article. The paper shows that both the just war tradition and those who theorize the ethics of the law of armed conflict have taken the moral and political reality of human rights seriously (in a manner that directly addresses Buchanan's core argument) but that there remain compelling reasons to defend a conservative approach to the use of force.

Marx and Sen on incentives and justice: Implications for innovation and development

The most crucial obstacle to equitable innovation and development is the tension between profit incentives and social justice. In the egalitarian tradition of social and political thought, there have been a number of theorists preoccupied with this tension. Among them Marx and Sen stand out as the most influential figures. This article evaluates their approaches and examines implications for technological innovation and economic development. The argument is that Marx’s needs-based approach is relational and therefore provides a radical resolution to the incentives–justice tension. By contrast, Sen’s approach is informational and therefore provides a policy solution to this tension. Both approaches imply that innovation and development can become more equitable through public action. However, in the case of Marx, public action assumes conflict between social classes; it aims at changing capitalist social relations and eliminating unjust exploitation. In the case of Sen, public action assumes consent between individuals; it aims at reforming public policy and eliminating capability deprivation.
