    It is not the case that Partiality to co-nationals need not conflict with cosmopolitan obligations

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 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 for 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

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?

      ?

      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
