International compensation for majority cultural loss
International compensation for majority cultural loss
This work examines the case for international compensation programs for reasonably-justly-formed majority cultures facing threats due to the ordinary functioning of globalization. Standard liberal-democratic arguments for minority rights couched in concerns about cultural vulnerability now apply to several majority cultures. Parity of reasoning from the minority rights literature accordingly provides some reasonably-justly-formed majorities with claims to cultural protections. Domestic laws are unlikely to adequately protect against transnational threats. However, majority cultural vulnerability presents an injustice international institutions should address. A well-designed international compensation scheme could maintain recognized benefits of globalization while compensating those who lose part of their cultural identity as a result. The following motivates and provides preliminary details on how to design a scheme.

Abstract
This work examines the case for international compensation programs for reasonably-justly-formed majority cultures facing threats due to the ordinary functioning of globalization. Standard liberal-democratic arguments for minority rights couched in concerns about cultural vulnerability now apply to several majority cultures. Parity of reasoning from the minority rights literature accordingly provides some reasonably-justly-formed majorities with claims to cultural protections. Domestic laws are unlikely to adequately protect against transnational threats. However, majority cultural vulnerability presents an injustice international institutions should address. A well-designed international compensation scheme could maintain recognized benefits of globalization while compensating those who lose part of their cultural identity as a result. The following motivates and provides preliminary details on how to design a scheme.
