Abstract

New Institutions for Global Justice and Alleviating Global Poverty

Santosh Kumar

Abstract:

Alleviation of global poverty, especially in the global South has an urgent issue of moral concern for world leadership. Global institutions have laid down various proposals to eradicate poverty across the globe but nothing substantial has changed and still millions of people are living in acute poverty. Global academia especially political theorists/philosophers have tried to address the issue of global poverty and in this paper I will be discussing the cosmopolitan position to address the issue. The proposed paper seeks to explore: what must a globally egalitarian institutional design look like that addresses the morally urgent problem of global poverty, especially in the global south?
