Abstract

The article reexamines John Rawls’s approach to global justice in his work "The Law of Peoples" within the context of neoliberalism’s stance against distributive autonomy. It highlights the need for distributive autonomy—the right of sovereign liberal states to determine their own internal distributions—which Rawls overlooked in his original position procedure. While neoliberalism denies the existence and necessity of this autonomy, the article argues that an international statute guaranteeing a minimum level of distributive autonomy among liberal states is both possible and necessary to ensure global justice. It also emphasizes that neoliberal globalization weakens states’ economic and political independence, which in turn threatens democratic stability. Consequently, the priority of global justice lies more in political inequality than economic inequality, and securing distributive autonomy is a fundamental condition for sustaining the principles of freedom and equality among liberal peoples.
