A comparative exploration of Western and Chinese understandings of
justice and their possible use to reframe Sino-American relations
and international governance. The concept of justice is central to
politics: it justifies the ordering of society and the distribution
of rewards. In Justice and International Order, Richard Ned Lebow
and Feng Zhang compare and contrast Western and Chinese conceptions
of justice. They argue that justice can almost invariably be
reduced to the principles of fairness and equality, although they
are developed and expressed differently in the two cultures. Lebow
and Zhang show that there has been a noticeable shift in both in
favoring equality over fairness in the modern era. They analyze the
growing conflict between China and the West in the light of these
conceptions of justice and show how they might be deployed to
ameliorate it. The authors also offer a critique of what passes for
global order and explore ways in which fairness and equality, and
trade-offs between them, offer pathways to better and more peaceful
worlds.
