Why people have supposed that economic interdependence between states, or between agents within different states, will encourage peaceful and, eventually, just relations in the world as a whole is not difficult to understand either. They point out that it is reasonable to believe that states are less likely to act aggressively or unjustly to other states if the well-being and prosperity of a significant part of their populations depend upon the maintenance of mutually beneficial commercial relations.
Thus since A and the others know that they will be punished for bad behaviour and that they generally benefit more from good behaviour, they will be inclined to exercise that promisekeeping, contract-honouring behaviour, that respect for rights of property, which Hobbes and others regard as central to justice. The world will become peaceful and therefore safe for the exercise of justice. And thus it is plausible to suppose that imported into the state of nature these relationships could convert a state of war into a state of relative peace, and that once this happens agents will be more inclined and more able to act justly.
For the second objective sometimes requires that national interests be sacrificed. The less extreme forms merely assert that, given the realities of the world, leaders cannot always afford to act justly. For they will be faced, more or less frequently, with what Walzer calls ‘a supreme emergency’. Realism as a moral doctrine attempts to persuade us that for the sake of the national interest, or for the sake of peace, we cannot afford to worry too much, or at all, about requirements of justice. The relation between the cosmopolitan point of view and realism is a complex one.
