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.

Building a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the limits of transitional justice theory, this innovative book proposes a new concept of the transitional justice citizen. Throughout the book, Briony Jones addresses contemporary criticism of transitional justice theory and practice in order to improve our understanding of the agency of people at times of transition. Drawing on three diverse case studies from across the globe, chapters demonstrate how the transitional justice citizen is defined by transitional justice discourse, policy and practice, and through acts of claiming justice such as protests and political violence. Combining in-depth theorization with empirical insights, this perceptive book positions the concept of citizenship within the context of long-term historical political struggle and the contemporary importance of justice.

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.

"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."

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
