Description: "Cosmopolitan thinkers challenge the widely held belief that we owe more to our co-citizens than to those in other countries. This book offers a moral argument for world government, claiming that not only do we have strong obligations to people elsewhere, but that accountable integration among nation-states will help ensure that everyone can lead a decent life." "This book will appeal to all those interested in political philosophy and the processes and potential of globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
