Political dimensions of justice

The discussion of justice has been an important and recurring theme in the political debate of Western democracies. This intense and extensive debate has covered issues ranging from the instrumentalization of law, which has generated discussions on the judicialization and politicization of the judiciary, to social justice. What unites the different texts and questions presented in this book is the possibility of a broader debate about justice that respects different traditions of thought and the different concepts and perspectives that justice demands.
