Document Summary

Outline: argues that mne have a responsibility to promote well-ordered social and political intuitions in host countries that lack them. This responsibility is grounded in a negative duty not to cause harm. This paper involves guidance for mangers of mnes operating in host countries that lack just institutions. Rawls argues that societies with just background institutions have a duty to promote minimally just background institutions in societies that lack them. Objections that are likely to be raised: the duty of assistance is a positive duty of a very general sort. It is a duty on the part of agent a to improve the situation of agent b, even if agent a did nothing to cause agent. In sum there are conditions under which mnes have a responsibility to help promote the development of minimally just background institutions in the countries where they operate.
