Reviews

'This wide-ranging Handbook demonstrates how the concept of social justice provides a valuable lens for the analysis of diverse contemporary policy and political issues. Drawing on a number of disciplines and theoretical perspectives, it puts theory to the service of policy and practice.' -- Professor the Baroness Ruth Lister of Burtersett, Loughborough University, UK


'The Handbook on Global Social Justice offers an impressive coverage of the many issues that underpin the concept of social justice and stimulate debates around it. The editor, Gary Craig, provides a solid introduction to how the book interprets social justice, making clear the need to reclaim the concept as a progressive one, bringing it back to its philosophical roots, situating its content within the critical jurisprudential analyses of Rawls, Kant and Mill, alongside theological understandings from Christianity to Hinduism, an awareness of the need to understand the intersections of race, disability, gender, sexuality and age, and its meaning within nations beyond the UK.' -- Grainne McKeever, Journal of Social Security Law 'This wide-ranging Handbook demonstrates how the concept of social justice provides a valuable lens for the analysis of diverse contemporary policy and political issues. Drawing on a number of disciplines and theoretical perspectives, it puts theory to the service of policy and practice.' -- Professor the Baroness Ruth Lister of Burtersett, Loughborough University, UK
