The Borders of Justice interrogates the complexities of transitional justice that emerge from its "social embeddedness". This original collection of essays, which stems from a collective research program undertaken by the Calcutta Research Group, confronts the concept and practices of justice. The editors and contributors question the relationship between geography, methodology, and justice - how and why justice is meted out differently in different places. Expanding on Michael Walzer's idea of "spheres of justice", the contributors argue that justice is burdened with our notions of social realities and expactations, in addition to the influence of money, law, and government.

Abstract
The Borders of Justice interrogates the complexities of transitional justice that emerge from its "social embeddedness". This original collection of essays, which stems from a collective research program undertaken by the Calcutta Research Group, confronts the concept and practices of justice. The editors and contributors question the relationship between geography, methodology, and justice - how and why justice is meted out differently in different places. Expanding on Michael Walzer's idea of "spheres of justice", the contributors argue that justice is burdened with our notions of social realities and expactations, in addition to the influence of money, law, and government.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
