| dc.description.abstract | The discipline of global justice philosophy seeks to discern the ways in which the world has been unjust thus far, and the ways in which it could be reorganized to be more just. An often underrepresented aspect of historical injustice by Western political philosophers is that of colonialism and of neocolonialism. In this work, I argue that neocolonialism is a major violation of principles of global justice and interact with political philosophers like John Rawls, Thomas Pogge, and Immanuel Kant to determine the obligations of states and peoples to one another, and to propose some principles of international justice which would repair the damage done from colonialism and usher the world into a truly postcolonial era. | |
