Herausgeber: Burchardt, Tania; Craig, Gary

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Social justice is a contested term, incorporated into the language of widely differing political positions. To date, political philosophers have made relatively few serious attempts to explain how a theory of social justice translates into public policy.

---

This important book explores the meaning of social justice and examines how it translates into the everyday concerns of public and social policy.
