Do Your Bit, Claim Your Share Stockholm Studies in Politics 190 Markus Furendal What does justice require of individuals, and why? These questions are increasingly important in times when the everyday advocacy of justice Do Your Bit, Claim Your Share is more and more focused on evaluating and criticising the principles and values that people find acceptable and act on in their daily lives. Justice, Ethos, and the Individual Duty to Contribute Yet, since much contemporary political philosophy generally conceives of justice as a virtue of social institutions, it is incapable both of recognising how individuals’ daily choices steer society towards, or Share Your Claim Bit, Your Do Markus Furendal away from, an ideal of justice, and to evaluate and guide the practice of socially sanctioning unjust behaviour. This dissertation answers the questions above, by arguing that justice requires individuals to not only comply with just institutions, but to also fulfil a pro tanto duty to contribute in their daily lives towards the furthering of a just society – to do their bit. Further, it argues that a system of informal and decentralised social sanctions – an ethos – is the best way to promote adherence to this duty. The study thereby develops and defends an account of contributive justice, specifying who should contribute to justice and why, as well as what a contribution is and how an individual duty to contribute should be enforced.

Abstract Contemporary political philosophy primarily conceives of justice as a virtue of major social institutions. Yet, much advocacy of justice is increasingly focused on how well particular individuals live up to its demands, and proceeds by calling out and criticising their unjust behaviour. The institutional focus renders political philosophy unable to inform and evaluate such attempts to change, not legal frameworks, but rather the principles that people find acceptable and act on in their daily lives. To address this shortcoming, this dissertation provides a political philosophical analysis of what justice requires of individuals, and why. It does so by developing and defending an account of contributive justice, which answers the inquiry’s guiding questions of who should contribute to justice and why, as well as what a contribution is, and how individual duties of justice should be enforced. The arguments provided support the conclusion that achieving a just society is not simply a question of designing and complying with the right kind of institutions, but that we all have a pro tanto duty to contribute in our day-to-day lives towards the furthering of a just society, and that relying on informal and decentralised social sanctions is the best way to promote adherence to this duty. The duty to contribute defended in this dissertation differs from existing policies that make access to welfare state services conditional on individuals’ willingness to work or study. It also differs from prominent existing philosophical defences of similar positions, centred around the ideas of equality, reciprocity, and fairly sharing burdens. Critically analysing these accounts, the dissertation shows that, although each account can justify a duty to contribute, their specific answers to the guiding questions are ultimately unsatisfactory. For instance, they are unable to explain both why it is unjust to opt out from doing your bit of the labour necessary to meet the demands of justice, and why individuals who cannot contribute should nevertheless be able to claim the share that they are due. These shortcomings can be avoided, however, by combining concerns about equality, reciprocity, and fairly sharing burdens into a hybrid account. This generates a two-part pro tanto duty to contribute whereby, firstly, everyone has a duty to contribute towards making sure that everyone receives what they are due as a matter of justice. If and when this level is reached, everyone then has an obligation to benefit others, conditional upon them benefitting from the work of others. While it is unjust to refuse to contribute in the first way, the hybrid account leaves room for people to reject additional benefits and thereby absolve themselves from having to contribute further. Furthermore, the pro tanto nature of this duty means that it could be outweighed by other morally important considerations. Although demanding, it will hence not crowd out all personal pursuits. The dissertation also suggests that adherence to this duty should be enforced not through state action, but rather by individuals responding to and upholding a system of social sanctions. Contrasting this so-called ethos of justice with similar systems of social control, such as peer-to-peer online monitoring and sanctioning, and the Social Credit System currently being implemented in China, arguably shows that the informal and decentralised nature of the ethos allows it to avoid the potentially freedom-curtailing effects of the similar systems.

  • Conclusion to the Work THINKING ABOUT and ACTING TO
    Conclusion to the Work THINKING ABOUT AND ACTING TO ADVANCE SOCIAL JUSTICE: A DILEMMA Paul Gomberg Even many who are not philosophers know John Rawls’s name, as his renowned A Theory of Justice (Rawls 1999) gave new life to political philosophy and sparked dis- cussion across the world. Rawls gave theoretical foundations for both the basic liber- ties and equality of opportunity and argued that the only allowable economic inequali- ties should be those that benefit the least advantaged members of society (assuming that inequalities might create incentives that sparked such big gains in production that even those with least had more than anyone would have if there was complete equali- ty). Ronald Dworkin (2000) and others also challenge current social inequalities. Dworkin was vexed that some people are harmed by pure bad luck and argues that egalitarians should be concerned to mitigate such harms; others (see the essays col- lected in Clayton and Williams 2002) debate whether egalitarians should strive for equality or for maximum benefit to those who are worst off. All these theories emphas- ize distributive justice, particularly how the material benefits of social cooperation are spread among people. Robert Nozick’s Anarchy, State, and Utopia (1974) challenged these egali- tarian views of distributive justice from the right; he argued that any distribution, no matter how unequal, is just if it came about from actions that were just. Distributive justice also was challenged from the left: in How to Make Opportunity Equal (2007) I proposed that the focus on who gets what is misguided because it sets up contests for limited resources; a just society would make it possible for all to develop complex abilities, to contribute those abilities back to society, and to earn esteem from others for those contributions (I called this contributive justice).

  • Equality and Participation
    Equality and Participation Distribution of Outcomes in Participatory Processes for Managing Natural Resources Alba Mohedano Roldán Academic dissertation for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science at Stockholm University to be publicly defended on Friday 1 June 2018 at 13.00 in Hörsal 9, hus D, Universitetsvägen 10 D. Abstract Social justice has become an intrinsic feature of sustainable development. One of the ways in which it is expected we will reach more just and sustainable societies is through stakeholder participation in natural resource management. However, entrenched inequalities among participants have generated scepticism about the potential of participation to improve social justice and, until now, the literature has not provided sufficient evidence to disentangle such contradictory views. Approaching social justice from the viewpoint of equality, this dissertation contributes to the debate by studying how the socio-political structure in which participation is embedded affects how far participation outcomes respect equality. The political regime, the distribution of power at the local level, and the characteristics of the participatory process are conceived as embodiments of such socio-political structure. The impact of these three structural factors on outcome equality is studied in biosphere reserves, areas designated by UNESCO as sites for experimenting with sustainable development strategies through stakeholder participation. Survey panel data from biosphere reserve managers and interview data with stakeholders are used in large-n, medium-n, and small-n analyses to explore to what extent, and under which circumstances, participation can lead to equal outcomes. The results suggest that, although in nondemocratic states participation has more difficulty promoting equal outcomes than in democratic states, and that although participation leads to generally unequal outcomes in unequal contexts, some participation outcomes can approach an egalitarian ideal even in these unexpected settings.

  • Applications of Principles of Contributive and Distributive Justice to the Climate Refugee Crisis
    Shoa Moosavi Prof. Bishop Climate Change & Global Justice 19 March 2021 Applications of Principles of Contributive and Distributive Justice to the Climate Refugee Crisis Climate change has and will continue to increase the number of displaced persons around the globe, including both international refugees and internally displaced migrants. Most estimates of the number of climate refugees number in the hundreds of millions (Lustgarten), while more concerning estimates say that up to two billion people could become refugees or migrants by the end of this century (McCarthy). From financial assistance to legal protection, addressing the issue of climate-related displacement introduces many complicated questions about justice and responsibility. The climate refugee problem needs a solution that uses deontological principles to engage parties that have the duty to help as well as consequentialist ethics that closely consider the best outcomes to secure their health, livelihood, and ability to thrive. Managing the logistical considerations of finding safe, dignified living situations for climate refugees and migrants will require extensive planning and funding, so it is critical to decide who will provide what resources to facilitate this process and how those resources will be allocated. The argument for how we ought to approach the crisis of climate refugees will be put forward in three parts. First, this paper will investigate the differences in how refugees, migrants, and climate refugees are defined. The next two sections will discuss the broader ethical implications of who qualifies for receiving what kind of aid and when. This will include an analysis of contributive and distributive justice approaches that address who provides funding and resources and who is eligible to receive those items, respectively.

  • Choosing a Tax Rate Structure in the Face of Disagreement
    CHOOSING A TAX RATE STRUCTURE IN THE FACE OF DISAGREEMENT Marjorie E. Komhauser In this Article Professor Kornhauser proposes an Integrity Principle that Congress should use when legislating in the face of inevitable disagreement and conflict among principles. This Principle, loosely based on Ronald Dworkin's principle of integrity, requires Congress to promote coherence from both a practi- cal and theoretical perspective. The practical aspect insists that Congress enact laws that best comport with reality; the theoretical aspect demands that Congress first interpret conflicting principles in a manner that best reconciles them and then enact laws that maximize this harmonization. Professor Kornhauser then applies the Integrity Principle to the question of a tax rate structure, a situation in which fundamental American principles of equality and liberty collide. The practical prong of the Integrity Principle undercuts the assumption that a progressive rate structure is redistributive. This is a crucial assumption because the strongest objections to progressivity are based not on economics but on claims of justice. Thus, to the extent that progressivity is not redistributive, conflicts between equality and liberty disappear. The theoretical prong of the Integrity Principle demonstrates that even if a progressive tax rate were redistributive, progressivity best reconciles two fundamental, but often conflicting, sets of principles: fairness and justice, and equality and liberty. The Integrity Principle, and its concomitant choice of progressivity, will increase the agreement between state action and individual belief and thereby enhance the legitimacy of the state. Since progressivity is a "better fit" with American principles, it boosts legal, moral, and popular support of the state; helps restrain concentrations of wealth and power-an historic threat to the legitimacy in America, and encourages national (or even international)unity.

  • Global Contributive Justice
    1 Global contributive justice: An exploration on 2 how to defend a wider provision of meaningful 3 work 4 5 6 7 Cristian Timmermann 8 Instituto de Investigaciones Filosóficas, UNAM 9 10 ([email protected]) 11 12 13 (first full draft version – to be presented February 4, 2015) 14 15 16 Abstract: Extreme inequality of opportunity leads to a number of social tensions, 17 inefficiencies and injustices. A raising issue of concern is the effect inequality is 18 having on people’s fair chances in attaining meaningful work, thus limiting 19 opportunities to make a distinguishable positive contribution to society and 20 reducing the chances to live a flourishing life and develop capabilities. Globalization 21 has led to an increasingly uneven distribution of meaningful work in a globalized 22 knowledge economy, the aspects thereof seldom theorized. Aim of the paper is to 23 explore a normative framework to justify a fairer distribution and provision of 24 meaningful work across national boundaries. 25 26 Keywords: labour conditions; capabilities; de-skilling; human flourishing; global 27 justice; knowledge economy; poverty. 28 29 30 31 32 Introduction 33 34 Everyday human well-being can be considerably improved by distributing 35 meaningful work more evenly and by offering additional opportunities to contribute 36 positively to society. The relative recently introduced concept “contributive justice” 37 is a valuable tool to argue for a fairer distribution of meaningful and tedious tasks 38 and to advocate capacity-building. Aim of this paper is to examine what contributive 39 justice demands and how this request can be justified.

  • Aussichtlose Sondierung. Japanische Friedensfühler Und Schwedische
    GERHARD KREBS AUSSICHTSLOSE SONDIERUNG Japanische Friedensfühler und schwedische Vermittlungsversuche 1944/45 1. Der Gesandte Bagge in Japan Am 15. November 1941, etwa drei Wochen vor Beginn des Krieges im Pazifik, be­ schloß in Tokyo die aus den Spitzen von Regierung und Militär bestehende „Verbin­ dungskonferenz", zur Beendigung des bevorstehenden Konfliktes vorsorglich die di­ plomatischen Bande zu neutralen Nationen wie südamerikanischen Ländern, Schwe­ den, Portugal oder dem Vatikan zu stärken1. Erst im Jahre 1944 aber und dann ver­ stärkt um die Zeit der deutschen Kapitulation herum begannen halbherzige Versuche, Friedenskontakte anzuknüpfen. Die Idee, Stockholm möge eine Kriegsbeendigung zwischen Japan und den angelsächsischen Mächten vermitteln, ging von dem Ge­ schäftsführenden Direktor der Tageszeitung Asahi Shinbun aus, Suzuki Bunshiro2. Dieser verfügte über gute Verbindungen zur politischen Welt und war außerdem seit vielen Jahren mit dem schwedischen Gesandten in Tokyo, Widar Bagge, befreundet3. Suzuki schlug im September des Jahres 1944 eine - als Idee der Stockholmer Re­ gierung auszugebende - schwedische Vermittlung bei England vor, von dem man mehr Verständnis als von den USA erwartete. Bagge warnte jedoch, wenn es sich da­ bei nur um eine private Initiative seines Gesprächspartners handeln sollte, würde sich der Plan nicht verwirklichen lassen. Daher suchte Suzuki Rückendeckung und erstat­ tete dem Fürsten Konoe Fumimaro Bericht, einem ehemaligen Premierminister, der mit einer Gruppe prominenter Persönlichkeiten seit Jahren einen Friedensschluß an­ strebte. Dieser sagte zwar weder „ja" noch „nein", erweckte aber den Eindruck der Zustimmung4. Bagge gewann aus Suzukis Kontakten jedoch den offensichtlich fal­ schen Eindruck, Fürst Konoe selbst habe den Friedensfühler veranlaßt. Diese Anga­ be fand sich daher nicht nur in seinen Telegrammen an das schwedische Außenmini- 1 Sanbohonbu-hen [Generalstab] (Hrsg.), Sugiyama memo.

  • Why Distributive Justice Is Impossible but Contributive Justice Would Work
    Science & Society, Vol. 80, No. 1, January 2016, 31–55 • Why Distributive Justice Is Impossible but Contributive Justice Would Work PAUL GOMBERG* ABSTRACT: Distributive justice, defined as justice in distribution of income and wealth, is impossible. Income and wealth are dis- tributed either unequally or equally. If unequally, then those with less are unjustly subject to social contempt. But equal distribution is impossible because it is inconsistent with bargaining to advance our own good. Hence justice in distribution of income and wealth is impossible. More generally, societies where social relations are mediated by money are necessarily unjust, and Marx was wrong to think a socialist society which retained money would lead to communism. Contributive justice proposes that each flourishes by advancing the flourishing of others. To achieve this goal all labor, both simple and complex, must be shared among all capable of doing it. The good of contributing our abilities to benefit others is then available to all non-competitively. 1. Introduction ISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE, CONCEIVED AS just distribution of income and wealth, is impossible — for reasons to be Dexplained. Social justice concerns how institutions affect people’s lives for better or worse. When the quality of a person’s life depends on access to money — on income and wealth — this * Ancestor drafts of this paper benefitted from criticism from David Schmidtz, David Copp, and Serena Olsaretti.

    AMERICAN MARKETING ASSOCIATION CODE OF ETHICS: INSTRUCTIONS FOR MARKETERS by Edward J. O’Boyle, PhD Senior Research Associate Mayo Research Institute Lyndon E. Dawson, Jr. Professor of Marketing Louisiana Tech University This paper was published in different form in Journal of Business Ethics Volume 11, Issue 12, December 1992 For more information about this article appearing in the Journal of Business Ethics, go to http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00871958 Questions and comments should be directed to: Edward J. O’Boyle, PhD 1217 Dean Chapel Road, West Monroe, LA 71291 USA [email protected] 1 In marketing no less than in any other specialized area of business, two main obstacles block the pathway to ethically proper conduct: ignorance and conflict. Ignorance raises the question "What is the ethically proper path to follow"? Conflict asks "What price am I willing to pay to follow that path"? These two questions differentiate knowing the moral good from doing it and demonstrate that ethical decision-making resides both in the human intellect and in the human will. This article addresses ignorance by means of the American Marketing Association (AMA) code of ethics which is linked in turn to three principles of economic justice. Conflict is examined in terms of four other ethical principles that are applied to two especially instructive (limiting) cases. Our purpose is to demonstrate that the AMA code of ethics is firmly anchored in certain moral absolutes that can be traced to fundamental ideas of justice in the economic order. MORAL AGENCY AND THE HISTORICAL ROOTS OF ETHICS Concern about ignorance and conflict as obstacles to ethically proper conduct can be traced to the two central historical roots of ethics: the Greco-Roman humanistic tradition and the Judeo-Christian religious tradition.
