Produktbeschreibung

Although an understanding of justice is inherent in broad human rights discourses, there is no clear consensus on how to integrate and reconcile these concepts. This volume examines a range of philosophical, economic, and social perspectives that are key to understanding the nature of the linkages between human rights and justice.
