Abstract
This chapter discusses international economic justice from a civic republican perspective. It begins with a historical survey of republican thinking on international economic matters, with special attention to the idea and practice of slavery. This account reveals a number of stances bearing on international economic life that republicans have defended, including patriotic militarism, free-trading commercialism, and internationalist socialism. The chapter then outlines and evaluates the global dimensions of contemporary republican economic philosophy, considering economic domination by states, as well as non-state actors such as multinational corporations. Disagreement over the institutional or normative viability of cosmopolitanism has been an important factor in shaping republican approaches to international economic justice, so republican contributions to this debate are then evaluated. Finally, the account is rounded out with a sketch of future directions for republican thinking about global economic justice, focusing on commercial and socialist republicanisms.
