dc.description.abstract |
This thesis will present the argument for treating nation-states as moral and not only legal collective entities; that is, it will apply the theory of collective rights of cultural groups in a (closed) domestic political setting to nation-states in international relations. The theory of collective rights of cultural groups is motivated by an observation that certain aspects of both human welfare and justice have not met with success by relying on the language of individual rights alone. This thesis is an attempt to apply the theory of collective rights to nation-states in order to address some of the main issues discussed in the literature on global justice. Treatment of nation-states as moral entities and collective rights-holders in that capacity has two farreaching normative consequences. Firstly, it makes it more apparent that the introduction of democratic governance over people has not been equally institutionally followed by the democratisation of governance over the state. Secondly, once it is accepted that nation-states are moral and not only legal entities, it becomes relevant to address not only their formal equality but their genuine capability to pursue legitimate interests in their mutual interaction. Thinking about nation-states as moral collectives offers a novel theoretical approach for facilitating more beneficial and fair terms of cooperation in the context of international relations. |
