Professor Philip Pettit, LS Rockefeller University Professor of Politics and Human Values, Princeton University
A Republican Law of Peoples
Taking states as they are (at their best), what shape ought the international order to have? In particular what shape ought it to have if the guiding value is not as austere as non-intervention among states and not as rich as cosmopolitan justice: if it is the republican ideal of freedom as non-domination? Professor Phillip Pettit seeks to outline the requirements that this value would have in the international context.
