1 I have elsewhere tried to indicate what some of the requirements of justice in international trade relations are. See Christian Barry & Sanjay Reddy, Just Linkage: International Trade and Labor Standards (forthcoming 2007). Draft and supporting materials are available at <http://www.alternatefutures.org>.

2 I say “may relate,” since the position that there are no requirements of justice with respect to international trade relations is at least not incoherent. It may be argued, however implausibly, that in a competitive world of self-seeking nations such as our own, nations may do whatever they wish to further their interests in their trading relations with others.
