This chapter develops the fundamental features of liberal non-domination. It connects the expressive perspective (chapter 2) to a liberal framework for social justice, aiming at fair cooperation between free and equal individuals endowed with two moral powers—sense of justice and capacity for a conception of the good—and derives a conception of non-domination from it. Domination consists of the asymmetrical capacity of one agent to arbitrarily interfere in the choices of another; interference is arbitrary when it is not forced to respect others’ prima facie relevant claims arising out of cooperation. This conception improves upon neo-republican accounts of non-domination by showing that domination is a very important, but not the only, requirement of social justice, and by giving a substantive determination to the claims and choices justice requires it to range over. Concluding critical analyses of Lovett’s, Forst’s, and Pettit’s rival conceptions of just non-domination confirm its advantages.

Economic Agency

In Rawls’s justice as fairness, the moral powers of democratic citizenship are the capacity for a conception of the good and the sense of justice, and basic rights are those necessary for the development and exercise of these two powers. Since economic agency is not a power of democratic citizenship, economic rights are not basic. To libertarians, this relative devaluation of economic agency and economic rights is a mistake, since economic agency and economic rights are the main concerns of justice. This libertarian critique is correct: justice as fairness underestimates the importance of economic agency and economic rights. Yet libertarian critics mistake how we should care about economic agency and which economic rights are basic. The economic agency that matters for justice as fairness is the capacity to work together with others, and the basic economic rights are those that enable and protect this capacity.

This chapter discusses the central questions about the content and distribution of education debated by philosophers in recent years. How should educational opportunity be distributed between individuals? Should society aim to achieve equal opportunity, or should it allow departures from equality provided the least advantaged are thereby helped or everyone enjoys an adequate education? Should society seek to eliminate or temper only inequalities that are caused by class differences, or also those caused by individuals’ genetic endowments? Education is not merely a good to be distributed; it is also a vehicle for shaping individuals’ beliefs and desires. Is it permissible for the political community to raise children to have a sense of justice, and for the community or parents to get children to adopt a particular conception of the good life, such as particular religious convictions? Finally, may parents determine the kind of education that their child receives?

Sense Of Justice

The sense of justice is a universal psychosocial preoccupation that has developed in both the individual and society during the course of civilization. A doctrine, a concept, and a striving comprise its three parts. The first of these finds its origins in fairness as command, fairness as contract, utilitarianism and divine command. The concept of justice is inherent in the child's expression of social justice, as suggested by Piaget, and brilliantly developed by Kohlberg. The striving for justice that is regulated through the harsh superego produces the “injustice collector” and the urge toward retribution; the benign superego encourages orderliness and affectionateness which is essential to the mutual respect that is required for the highest level of moral justice.

Intellectual Environment

Social justice has returned to the geographical agenda, but in an intellectual environment different from that in which ‘radical geography’ emerged more than two decades ago. The author attempts to (re)integrate the notion of social justice with some broader conception of the good life. An egalitarian formulation of distributive justice is posited, to set the scene for an argument that its application requires reference to the way of life in which it is embedded. Postapartheid South Africa is used for illustrative purposes. It is argued that the interdependence of distributional and relational aspects of justice might find fruitful expression in a universal ethic of care, as a central feature of a good way of life.

The Way

The study of obligation in Rawls raises a number of interpretative questions about the way in which A Theory of Justice relates to Political Liberalism. The interpretation offered here is that the two are concerned with distinct problems. The problem of congruence is the problem that exemplifies the problem of moral duty. In Theory, Rawls’s aim is to show how a rational plan of life supports and affirms a person’s sense of justice. In approaching this problem, Rawls offers two sorts of arguments: the conditional and the non-conditional. The unconditional arguments rely upon balance of motives considerations, but are insufficient to reconcile a sense of a person’s good with the duties of justice. The non-conditional arguments eventually fall back upon a controversial philosophical position. In Political Liberalism the argument is transformed into one of reasonable agreement among those who share a conception of the good. However, in substituting the potential alienation of churches or sects from society at large for the alienation of individuals from moral norms, Rawls has substituted one problem for another.

Sense Of Justice

Theories of social justice are either hegemonic (defending a single determinate standard), skeptical (finding social justice to be radically indeterminate if not meaningless), or pluralistic (claiming that we can disqualify all but a handful of standards, but that we cannot definitively adjudicate among these). I offer here a variation of the pluralistic view, arguing that a single standard cannotbe definitive because of what is termed the antinomies of social justice. These antinomies arise where the demands of justice collide with elements of the gratuitous that are morally valid or are practically unavoidable. Where this occurs, all possible distribution rules turn out to be unfair. An important implication of the argument is that liberal democracies cannot find their grounds for consensus, as John Rawls contends, in a common attachment to principles of justice. Instead, common interests and civic friendship will always be necessary supplements to the sense of justice as a source of social bonds in a free society.

Kebutuhan akan pembangunan fisik semakin meningkat seiring dengan bertambahnya jumlah penduduk. Problematika penyediaan tanah untuk pembangunan terjadi karena adanya pergeseran makna dan nilai tanah, sebagai akibat dari berkembangnya ideologi ekonomi kapitalis. Rakyat cenderung tidak mau melepaskan tanahnya kepada pemerintah untuk tujuan pembangunan dengan dalih bahwa besaran nilai ganti kerugian yang ditetapkan atas tanah terlalu rendah dan tidak adil. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan revisi kebijakan dalam aspek pertanahan yang mengarahkan pada mekanisme pengelolaan aset tanah negara terintegrasi yang dapat mengakomodasi keinginan semua pihak, sehingga dapat menjamin terciptanya keadilan sosial (al-‘Adalah al-Ijtima’iyyah). Penerapan konsep bank tanah sebagai sarana pengelolaan aset tanah negara dapat menjadi solusi dalam mengatasi krisis tanah untuk pembangunan yang terjadi saat ini. Konsep bank tanah yang memperoleh tanah melalui mekanisme jual beli, tukar menukar, hibah maupun lelang akan memenuhi rasa keadilan yang diidam-idamkan oleh rakyat. Sebelum menerapkan konsep bank tanah melalui suatu instrumen hukum, maka konsep tersebut harus terlebih dahulu disesuaikan dengan hukum positif nasional, khususnya dalam sistem hukum agraria. Hal ini perlu dilakukan untuk menghindari terjadinya disharmonisasi antar peraturan perundang-undangan dalam sistem hukum agraria yang saling berhubungan antara satu dan yang lainnya. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis landasan hukum mengenai konsep bank tanah sebagai pengelola aset tanah negara yang dapat mewujudkan keadilan sosial (al-‘Adalah al-Ijtima’iyyah) bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia.(The need for physical development is increasing as the increase in population. Any problems in clearing land for development are caused by shifts in land meaning and value, as a consequence of the development of the capitalist economic ideology. The people tend not to relinquish their land to the government for development purposes under the pretext that the amount of compensation paid for land is too low and unfair. Therefore, it is necessary to revise the policy in the land aspect that leads to the integrated state land asset management mechanism that can accommodate the wishes of all parties, so as to ensure the creation of social justice (al-'Adalah al-Ijtima'iyyah). Implementation of the concept of a land bank as a means of managing state land assets can be a solution in overcoming the land crisis for development that occurs today. The concept of a land bank acquiring land through buying and selling mechanisms, exchange, grants, and auctions will satisfy the sense of justice coveted by the people. Before applying the concept of the land bank through a legal instrument, the concept must be adjusted to national positive law, especially in the legal system of agrarian. This needs to be done to avoid the occurrence of dis-harmonization between laws and regulations in the agrarian legal system that is interconnected between one and the other. This article aims to analyze the legal basis for the concept of the land bank as a manager of state land assets that can realize social justice (al-'Adalah al-Ijtima'iyyah) for Indonesians)

Negara Indonesia merupakan negara agraris, dimana sumber ekonomi dan penghidupan masyarakatnya sangat bergantung pada produksi maupun hasil-hasil pertanian. Hal tersebut mengakibatkan persoalan pada bidang pertanian menjadi masalah pokok bagi masyarakat Indonesia. Salah satu permasalahan pertanian di Indonesia yaitu sengketa tanah perkebunan yang berujung pada konflik perkebunan. Mayoritas konflik perkebun-an terjadi antara petani dengan perusahaan perkebunan yang menyebabkan banyak kerugian, baik material maupun non material. Konflik usaha perkebunan perlu ditangani dengan baik agar tujuan utama dari pengelolaan perkebunan dapat tercapai. Ketika konflik terjadi, pemerintah adalah pihak yang paling berwenang dalam menanganinya, pihak yang obyektif dan tidak memihak salah satu pihak yang berkonflik. Perlu adanya politik hukum penanganan konflik perkebunan oleh pemerintah yang memberikan rasa keadilan bagi pada pihak-pihak yang berkonflik. Legal Politics the Handling of the Plantation Conflict by the Government in Creating the Social Justice Indonesia is a agraris country, where economic and society lifes depend on agriculture product. It makes agriculture problems become the main problem for indonesian. One of agriculture problem in Indonesia is land plantation disputes that cause a conflict on plantation business. The majority of conflicts occur between farmers and plantation companies that cause many losses, both material and non-material. Plantation conflicts need to be handled properly so that the main objective of plantation management can be achieved. When conflict occurs, government is the most authorized party to handle it, the objective and impartial parties of either party in conflict. It is necessary to have a legal policy on handling of plantation conflicts by the government which gives a sense of justice for the parties.

This chapter asserts that the principles of resource distribution in Menciuscan be conceived as principles of sufficiency. The aim of social justice, according to this perfectionist view, is to enable every member of a community to live a good life. What is morally significant is whether each person has sufficient resources to lead a good life, not whether each has the same amount. The Confucian conception of the good life sets a rough standard for sufficiency—namely, the amount a person generally needs to live a decent material life and feel secure enough to pursue the higher, ethical life. On the matter of distribution of resources, Confucian justice is not of an egalitarian but a sufficientarian view.
