Biographical note
Edited by Joshua Cohen, Stanford University, US and Archon Fung, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, US<i>'Contemporary political theorists and political scientists have good reasons to compliment Cohen and Fung on compiling this extremely useful and thought provoking set of volumes.'</i>
A just society guarantees its members rights to basic civil liberties protecting the political liberties associated with democratic governance, while ensuring state accountability and responsiveness to citizens. Despite broad agreement on these abstract requirements, the conditions that foster justice, thus understood, are a matter of long-standing controversy in political theory.
This important collection addresses these controversies with over fifty articles on basic political institutions such as the rule of law, judicial review, federalism, separation of powers, freedom of speech, elections and parties, direct democracy, organized social groups, and administrative agencies.
