Abstract

For two decades now, globalization has become the major transformation process of our societies; and normative issues related to it are the objects of an especially intense public and academic debate, with the expression “global justice” being one of the major expressions used in this context. Nevertheless, global justice is still an issue that is not treated as being as familiar to the public and academic debate as justice within a domestic society. One finds an eloquent example of this in one of the major works on global justice, John Rawls ‘Law of Peoples. Rawls calls the ‘law of peoples choose unwell-ordered peoples’ also adopted by ‘decent peoples’ a ‘realistic utopia’. According to Rawls, this law is necessarily adopted by well-ordered peoples as well as by decent peoples because of the very nature of their internal constitution.
