这篇文章考察了最近转向所有受影响的原则，作为确定人民适当边界的一种手段。尽管这一原则很受欢迎，但它认为，它的许多支持者往往低估了它对当代政治理论提出的挑战。更具体地说，提出了两项主张。首先，它认为，我们必须区分两项原则，这两项原则虽然都与造人问题有关，但都是在截然不同的条件下这样做的：一切从属原则和一切受影响原则。其次，它认为，尽管全面影响原则是关于世界性民主的辩论中的一种流行手段，但它并没有单一的含义。事实上，所有受影响的原则有三个不同的作用，即诊断、产生和证明人民的边界。后者是最难解释的，因为它将所有受影响原则的支持者吸引到他们开始评估的冲突中。结论是，这种情况要求重新调整当前辩论的方向，既涉及正在审议的冲突的特征，也涉及它对当代政治理论提出的挑战。
This article examines the recent turn to the all-affected principle as a means to determine the proper boundaries of the people. The popularity of the principle notwithstanding, it argues that many of its proponents are prone to underestimating the challenge it raises to contemporary political theory. More specifically, two claims are made. Firstly, it argues that we must distinguish between two principles which, while both relating to the question of people-making, do so under radically different conditions: the all-subjected principle and the all-affected principle. Secondly, it argues that while the all-affected principle is a popular device in debates on cosmopolitan democracy it does not have a singular meaning. The all-affected principle in fact has three distinct roles to play, those of diagnosing, generating and justifying the boundaries of the people. The latter is the most difficult to account for in so far as it draws proponents of the all-affected principle into the very conflict that they set out to assess. It is concluded that this circumstance calls for a reorientation of the current debate, both with regard to the characterisation of the conflict under consideration and the challenge it raises to contemporary political theory.
