"Distributive Justice in a Global Era" provides an exciting new theory of global justice based on the principle of impartiality. It assesses most of its major rivals and sketches its institutional implications. Christien van den Anker addresses the main elements of a contractarian theory of justice: the need for a theory of global justice, the justification of moral arguments, the scope of justice, the circumstances of justice, the situation of choice, the principles of justice, the currency of justice, the duties of justice and institutional implications.
