    1 perspective
    Reason for

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Conflating distinct views obscures important disagreements about whether global justice requires complete equality or merely adequate minimum standards.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Many global egalitarians accept state sovereignty and national partiality, making them far less utopian than strong cosmopolitanism presupposes.
