    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Cosmopolitan principles should govern global institutional structures that ensure people are treated as equals in their entitlements
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.When global institutions ensure equal treatment, there can be a legitimate role for patriotism that operates within such constraints
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Special obligations to co-nationals are grounded in particularist relationships that generate duties prior to and independent of any global institutional order.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Cosmopolitan institutions cannot be the source of legitimacy for partiality if that partiality exists before and outside such institutions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Walzer and Miller argue national communities generate thick moral obligations that structurally compete with impartial cosmopolitan demands for resources and political will.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Pogge's institutional cosmopolitanism still requires citizens to prioritize reforming global institutions over domestic welfare when the two conflict.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Any scheme where cosmopolitan constraints are lexically prior to national partiality effectively subordinates co-national obligations whenever genuine scarcity forces a choice.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim of compatibility therefore conceals a systematic asymmetry that functionally negates robust national partiality in cases that matter most.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    It is often assumed that cosmopolitanism must necessarily be in tension with more local attachments to friends, family or compatriots. Some cosmopolitans believe such conflict is inevitable and a necessary part of understanding what cosmopolitanism entails but that this implication is unproblematic (Ypi 2013). Others argue for different ways in which the apparent tensions could be resolved (Pogge 2013, Tan 2004). As we see above, Pogge emphasizes the clear separation of spheres in which equal c
