Violence and Social Justice

Violence and injustice are two major political problems facing the world today. Offering a fresh, innovative analysis of the concept of violence, this book presents an original insight into the nature of injustice. Addressing three key questions, it forces us to rethink the scope and aims of a theory of social justice.

'...the clear exposition of his liberal position makes this book a valuable contribution for political theorists trying to understand these critically important questions....In providing such a clear and thoughtful addition to this discussion, he has done a major service to contemporary political theory.' - Contemporary Political Theory
