In the 50 years since Rawls' seminal work A Theory of Justice, the
concept has been constantly debated, with those on the political
right and left advocating very different understandings. This
unique global collection, written by an exceptional group of
international experts, offers a wide-ranging analysis that
challenges claims that the market can provide social justice for
all. Comprehensive in both its geographical and thematic coverage,
authors link theory to policy and practice. Sections cover how to
think strategically about social justice in relation to national
perspectives; equality and human rights; and applications of the
concept to a range of welfare divisions and professional practices.
Reflecting both historical and contemporary debates on the subject,
the Handbook provides a strong political focus, as well as widening
the view of social justice past narrow perspectives on welfare
provision. This Handbook will be an excellent tool for students at
a postgraduate level in the social sciences, particularly social
policy, sociology, politics and philosophy. Established researchers
of political and sociological theory, practitioners and policy
makers in professional areas of welfare provision will also find
the extensive insights into current research exceptionally useful
for enhancing and developing their work, and situating it within a
clear political and philosophical context. Contributors include: S.
