Book synopsis

An exploration of the idea of government of peoples who freely accept liberal democracy and try to realize democracy in their common institutions, the author proposes an integrated "original position" consisting in a hypothetical agreement of liberal democratic peoples and potentially mobile citizens. Following this modified Rawlsian method, the author formulates basic principles of multilateral democracy regarding institutional design, transnational rights, linguistic as well as distributive justice. The book presents a theory of intermediary and incremental spheres of justice. It thus overcomes two false dichotomies haunting the debates on justice: one allowing for a rigidly national or global scope of theory and the other for exclusively people-based or person-based justifications.
