Publisher's Synopsis
Procedural justice is an important factor for human behaviour. The term means the fairness of the way decisions are reached. Procedural justice turns out to be important for the legitimacy of a political rule as well as for the acceptance of administrative decisions. The volume deals with the interrelation between procedural and distributive justice and also inquires criteria of procedural justice. - This book provides a long desired overview about the multidisciplinary and international discussion on procedural justice. Social psychological insights, empirical studies as well as the contributions of discourse theory and systems theory are dealt with. Book contributors also trace the roots of the present discussion to philosophical predecessors and they formulate consequences for politics.
