From the conceptual point of view, the notion of global justice coincides primarily with the notion of fair consideration of interests and equal treatment of people the world over. From the historical point of view, the priority of distributive justice at a global level is explained by the struggle between capitalism and communism that characterized international political theory and practice during the second part of 20th century.
