eng	Are Obligations for Individuals different from Obligations of States?	The paper starts with an analytical point about the global justice debate. I argue that the distinction between ‘monism’ and ‘dualism’ has an important and underappreciated role in delimiting the basic contested areas surrounding the global redistribution of resources. Accepting or rejecting parity between moral and political principles radically changes (and in some cases even completely reverses) the desiderata of both cosmopolitan and internationalist positions. Consequently, we can sharply distinguish between monist cosmopolitans, dualist cosmopolitans, monist internationalists and dualist internationalists. The argumentative part of the paper aims to show that the dualist theories are superior to the monist ones. I focus on the normatively relevant differences between the moral agency of states and the moral agency of individuals. I argue that, because of their non-comparable constitutive ends, it is not possible for the same principles to apply in ‘moral’ as well as ‘political’ cases. Redistributive principles applicable to states thus cannot be a mere extension of principles valid for individuals. They need to respect the specific normative nature of states.	global justice; individual obligations; political obligations
