Dieses neue Hintergrundpapier gibt zunächst einen Überblick über zentrale Begriffe der Debatte wie Gerechtigkeit, Versöhnung etc.. Anschließend werden drei Formen des Umgangs mit Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung vorgestellt: Vergessen & Verdrängen, strafrechtliche Aufarbeitung und Wahrheitskommissionen. Sie werden jeweils von historischen Beispielen illustriert: Ruanda, Deutschland und Südafrika. Die Frage, mit der sich das Papier befasst, lautet: Wie kann belastete Vergangenheit am besten aufgearbeitet werden? Und kann es ein "zu viel" oder "zu wenig" an Transitional Justice geben?

"Der vorliegende Aufsatz untersucht zum einen die wichtigsten Argumente in der Diskussion zwischen den Egalitariern und den Inegalitariern mit Blick auf die Fragestellung, wie das Verhältnis von Gerechtigkeit und Gleichheit genau aussieht. Zum anderen werden auf der Grundlage der Untersuchung erste Überlegungen für einen eigenen Ansatz - wie man das Verhältnis von Gerechtigkeit und Gleichheit verstehen sollte - angestellt."

Canada's criminal justice system (CJS) is plagued with issues from the overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples to annual expenditures totalling billions of dollars. To alleviate these problems, there has been a push to reform the CJS to better suit its objective to rehabilitate and reintegrate offenders, such as diversionary courts, increased use of community supervision, and culturally-specific programming. However, reformist movements are not doing enough to push the boundaries of criminal justice reform. Crafting policy solutions, which remain within the scope of the current carceral landscape, stifles all discourse that calls for fundamental change. Incrementally reforming the CJS forces public policy to tweak problematic aspects of the model but does not challenge the overall societal and political purpose of the justice system. Ultimately, the reformist approach to the CJS maintains the status quo, which disproportionally harms Inuit, Métis and First Nations people who have historically been over-represented in the CJS. This is because the CJS is deeply rooted in colonialism and serves as a mechanism for the continued subjugation and oppression of Indigenous peoples. Reforming the justice system to become more culturally competent for Indigenous peoples is merely a façade to prevent questions of state sovereignty, legitimacy, and Canada's colonial origins. True reform calls for the decolonization of the CJS. In this paper, to achieve the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Call to Action No. 42 (i.e., the recognition and implementation of Indigenous justice systems), it will require both analysis and discussion of Canada's past, present and future.

The defense of capitalism in America is rooted in a preference for the market's justice of earned deserts over the justices of equality and need associated with the polity. These preferences have structural roots in the way governments and markets serve different values and purposes, satisfy wants, focus on fairness or justice, enlist causal attributions, distribute or redistribute income, are limited by rights, and seem to offer either harmony or conflict of interest. Some of these "structural" differences, however, are themselves perceptual, and corrected by changed perceptions of the productivity of government and of our historic predecessors, and by a community point of view involving changed accounting systems, as well as by policies of full employment rather than guaranteed incomes. With few institutional changes, these altered perceptions may partially restore political justice to favor.

This book provides an overview of the restorative justice conferencing programs currently in operation in the United States. In paying particular attention to the qualitative dimensions of this - based on interviews, focus groups and ethnographic observation - the book provides an unrivalled view of restorative justice conferencing in practice.

In the US today, there remain many unresolved issues related to race, in particular issues that are legacies of past injustices toward African Americans. This article argues that, in addressing these issues, we have much to learn from other societies that have undergone political transformations from regimes that systematically abuse human rights to regimes that respect, or at least purport to respect, human rights. These transitions have given rise to the idea of transitional justice, & to well-developed debates about what justice requires during such periods of transition. I argue (in the first section) that transitional justice usually requires the backward-looking measures of prosecution, reparation, & acknowledgement, & I further argue (in the following section) that by this standard the transformation that took place during the civil rights era in the US was unjust, or, at least, remains incomplete. In the final section of the article, I discuss measures that should be considered as ways of completing our transition to a racially just society. Adapted from the source document.

Justice is a virtue that speaks to our time and has been sought and celebrated since it was conceptualized in ancient Greece. Foregrounding new and fascinating research in philosophy and psychology, as well as other empirical fields of study, the essays in this volume explore the breadth and significance of current understandings of justice, with an emphasis on justice as a virtue that individuals can cultivate in themselves and others

Considers the term "justice" & related theoretical problems emerging in current philosophical discussions. Focus is on the work of John Rawls & his critics, eg, the liberal-communitarian debate & difficulties of discussing social justice in a political liberalism framework. At issue is the idea that the literature to emerge from these debates, while devoted to important ruminations, seems to have put off a detailed argumentation about justice. Whether this postponement is linked to changing political circumstances is addressed, & the tensions between justice & particular interest are elaborated. The revival of justice based on aggregate utility in the post-Soviet context is scrutinized, highlighting the work of Robert Nozick & pondering distributive issues. J. Zendejas

"Neue Formen der Arbeitsorganisation und eine Deregulierung der Flächentarife haben eine Veränderung der betrieblichen Entlohnungsstrukturen zur Folge. Fragen der Verteilungsgerechtigkeit werden deshalb in dem Maße in Unternehmen an Bedeutung gewinnen, wie diese Veränderungen wirksam werden. Die Organisationsforschung ist auf diese Entwicklung wenig vorbereitet. Denn Gerechtigkeit wurde bislang vorwiegend dem Breich der Moral oder der Politik zugewiesen. Wie in der betrieblichen Praxis ist auch hier Gerechtigkeit in Unternehmen eher Gegenstand philosophischer Betrachtungen als empirischer Untersuchungen. Deutlich wird dies daran, daß die Ergebnisse der neueren Gerechtigkeitsforschung weder bei der wissenschaftlichen Analyse noch bei der praktischen Gestaltung betrieblicher Abläufe große Beachtung finden. Es ist das Ziel dieser Studie dieses Defizit im Verständnis von Gerechtigkeit in Unternehmen auszugleichen. Dazu wird ein Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der philosophischen, soziologischen und psychologischen Gerechtigkeitsforschung gegeben. Ein Hauptaugenmerk gilt den empirischen Einflußfaktoren individueller Gerechtigkeitsurteile und den einstellungs- und verhaltensbezogenen Folgen wahrgenommener (Un-)Gerechtigkeiten. Durch die Verknüpfung organisations- und gerechtigkeitstheoretischer Konzepte wird darüber hinaus eine Klärung des Gegenstandsbereichs einer empirischen Gerechtigkeitsforschung in Unternehmen vorgenommen. Dazu werden die Bedeutungsaspekte 'korporativer' Gerechtigkeit bestimmt und anhand empirischer Untersuchungen der Zusammenhang zwischen betrieblichen Strukturen und den Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen der Beschäftigten aufgezeigt."
