Resumen de European Solidarity and the Constraints of Global Fairness

Glyn Morgan

• The recent Eurozone Crisis has led to a focus on the idea of European solidarity. Many people argue that if Europeans acted in a more solidaristic way, the gap between wealthier and poorer European nations could be bridged. The paper argues that European solidarity is more problematic than it appears, because it stands in tension with the idea of global fairness. The paper seeks to resolve this tension by arguing that European integration can be construed as a form of liberal political incorporation that can be justified as a cosmopolitan project.
