Rezension zu: Dabrowski, Martin; Wolf, Judith; Abmeier, Karlies: Globalisierung und globale Gerechtigkeit. Sozialethik konkret. Paderborn: Schöningh 2009. 978-3-506-76846-9. - "Kann Globalisierung sozial gerecht gestaltet werden? Lässt sich ein Weltgemeinwohl bestimmen? Von welchen Gerechtigkeitsprinzipien soll man sich leiten lassen, die universal anwendbar und akzeptiert sind?" Mit diesen Fragen befasste sich 2008 die Fachtagung "Globalisierung und Gerechtigkeit", bei der um es Prinzipien christlicher Sozialethik und die praktische Umsetzung des Gerechtigkeitspostulats in einer globalen Wirtschafts- und Sozialordnung ging. Martin Dabrowski, Judith Wolf und Karlies Abmeier haben dazu den Tagungsband "Globalisierung und globale Gerechtigkeit" herausgegeben. Er umfasst die Bereiche "Gerechtigkeit und Option für die Armen", "Gerechtigkeit und Finanzmärkte", "Gerechtigkeit und Welthandel" sowie "Gerechtigkeit und Klimaschutz".

R. Nozick's book, Anarchy, State, and Utopia (New York: Basic Books, 1974) has received much attention from serious critics & speechwriters. The book is "politically naive, philosophically deficient, & historically irrelevant." It claims that everything (ie, freedom & human rights) is for sale; only price is at question. Nozick has rehashed the old concept of entitlement to incorporate his notion of state of nature with that of the supremacy of individual rights; his proposals have little concern with modern political & social realities. His "protective agencies," which promote the rights of possession for each member of the agency, constitute a scheme which is contrary to history. Humans can, in some instances, form communities which agree to recognize certain individual rights; but these rights are defined & established by the community, & it is a far cry from Nozick's state of nature. Given a finite resource or space, certain individuals will invariably seek to control these resources to the detriment of their fellows. Only when societies recognize the true tendencies of human nature, have they been able to retard the grossly unjust apportionment of property. Nozick asserts that "the legitimate powers of a protective association are merely the sum of the individual rights that its members or clients transfer to the association." But Nozick ignores the profound difference between "rights" & "powers." He fails to deal with the effects of power on individuals & organizations. His notions rest on the principle that property rights are legitimate, & no one should interfere with another's business. It takes some kind of government to make such decisions as to who has what kind of rights. His utopia is based on "might makes right," & powers and rights must go to the ones with all the holdings. In Nozick's view, justice is for sale. B. Hudinger.

This article argues against contribution-based conceptions of economic justice and in favor of distribution according to effort or sacrifice. It responds to important objections implicit in the work of Robert Nozick and John Rawls, and argues that market socialist economies cannot avoid being inequitable.

This article challenges the received view on the role of motivations in contemporary theories of social justice. Neo-Kantians argue that a theory of justice must be rooted in moral motivations of reasonableness, not rationality. Yet reasonableness is a demanding motivation, stipulating actions that people may not be able or willing to perform. This opens egalitarians like Rawls to the accusation of prescribing a political philosophy that is not 'followable'. The aim of this article is to explore the benefits for egalitarian theories of justice of sanctioning both rational & reasonable motivations. Being vulnerable to self-regarding passions, people often fail to act upon the principles of fairness or impartiality, even when they are motivated by their sense of justice. The institutions of justice must therefore find a way to fortify & encourage the development of our sense of justice. This can be achieved by giving people a rational incentive to act upon & therefore engender their sense of justice. Finding ways to motivate people to act justly is the most pressing challenge facing egalitarian justice today. 34 References. Adapted from the source document.

This special issue brings together scholars who have identified justice issues throughout the fashion system, encompassing how fashion is produced, consumed and discarded. While fashion systems have long been the focus of deep and varied perspectives on sustainability, from the environmental to social and cultural, we argue that characterising fashion justice as an environmental justice issue can usefully account for the multiple and intersecting ways in which fashion systems impact both human and more-than-human capabilities (Bick et al. 2018). Against the backdrop of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and SDG 12 in particular, which calls for sustainable consumption and production patterns, it is timely and appropriate to consider fashion systems as a broader global environmental justice concern.

Einige neoliberale Wirtschaftswissenschaftler - unter ihnen Hayek - glauben, dass Gerechtigkeit nichts mit Wirtschaft zu tun hat. Sie gehen von einem Bild der Wirtschaft als in sich und aus sich heraus funktionierendem System aus, das keine Verbindung zum politischen System hat. Zu den notwendigen Vorbedingungen einer optimierten Produktion gehören jedoch politische und soziale Strukturen, die die alte Fragen nach einer gerechten Ordnung und nach der Gerechtigkeit als Tugend neu stellen.

"The three elements of the title intersect at three points which will be discussed from the perspective of
three professions – medicine, economics, and ethics. The discussion of the nine emerging topics illustrates
the chances and risks in this field of conflicting principles. As cryptonormative definitions are
one of the most frequent sources of error, we try to be as transparent as possible in the use of different
terms and thus to come to resilient conclusions." (author's abstract)

AbstractThis chapter considers the ECJ procedure and, in particular, the length of time required for cases to be heard, especially in proceedings pertaining to the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice, an area in which the saying 'justice delayed, justice denied' has particular force. It examines in particular the new urgent procedure, conceived in order to enable the Court to decide a case falling under the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice within an expedited time-frame. It concludes that, while undue haste should be avoided, lengthy time-frames for court proceedings are more often than not a sign of poor case management. The Area of Freedom, Security and Justice provides a special incentive for the ECJ to be vigilant as regards the length of court proceedings.
