Unidade na abordagem política e institucional da justiça distributiva na teoria de John Rawls

Abstract

The objective of this dissertation is to demonstrate unity and conformity in the theory by John Rawls between the two uses of the original position to support the principles and norms of justice for internal society and international relations. In the same sense, I intend to demonstrate that the American author uses the same foundations for regulating liberty in the democratic society, by limiting its exercise through the rule of law and the justice system, as well as for regulating the sovereignty of the people through international treaties and the duty of intervention. Accordingly, just as liberty depends on institutions and their respective norms, sovereignty is regulated by international law and by the respect for human rights. Subsequently, this dissertation aims to demonstrate unity in the Rawlsian theory by defining the distributive justice system applicable to internal society, with the adoption of public policies of transfer of income and sharing property and wealth, with the same purpose as the duty of assistance of peoples towards disadvantaged societies, at the international level. The dissertation is complemented by an analysis of the foundations of the guarantee of an existential minimum for citizens and the just savings principle
