Summary: "Over the last few decades national boundaries have become less and less important. Between Cosmopolitan Ideals and State Sovereignty explores how philosophers and political theorists have recast principles of justice and human rights in the light of the challenges posed by globalization. It discusses important ethical issues that arise at a global level and addresses such questions as whether human rights and sovereignty can ever be reconciled, how just political institutions can be developed in a world without boundaries and how humanitarian intervention can be justified."--Publisher description.
