In this article I claim that the scope of certain egalitarian principles of distributive justice is domestic, not global. i ground my claim on Michael Blake's theory, according to which the scope and content of principles of distributive justice is determined by the type of coercion which is exercised in a certain domain. Against this theory, several authors argue that there is no type of coercion which is exercised only in the domestic domain, but not also in the global domain. using an analogy, I contend that continuous coercive control exists only in the domestic domain, while at the global level coercive control is discontinuous.

Keywords : Coercion; Egalitarianism; Global Justice.
