 The controversies surrounding forward looking collective responsibility have to do with both the role of agent causation in ascribing responsibility for remedying harm in the world and the norms and principles that may—or may not—be appropriate to invoke in this context. Does responsibility for remedying harm come down to who caused the harm? If not, what other criteria should we employ? Should we turn to those who are most capable of preventing the harm and hold them—and the community of which they are a part—responsible for remedial action? (Is forward looking collective responsibility primarily an exercise in pragmatism?) Do considerations of fairness have any place in our ascriptions of such responsibility and, if so, what kinds of fairness are relevant? What happens in cases where there is no collective entity capable of taking remedial action? Do we have a moral obligation to bring such a collective entity about and, if so, on what basis?
