  • Perpetuating Advantage

    Mechanisms of Structural Injustice

    by Robert E. Goodin ...
    Injustices are, in the first instance, brute acts of identifiable individuals. But they are typically perpetuated, more subtly, through seemingly innocent workings of innocuous social structures.

They say much about all the sites where such structural injustices reside - but without saying much, as yet, about how exactly structural ... Read more

What can be taken for consent (perhaps wrongly) and with what consequences? How does consent come into being and pass out of it? How can consent be conferred, invoked and revoked? What is the role of social and legal ... Read more

    Democratic Theory and Practice After the Deliberative Turn

    by Robert E. Goodin ...

They embrace 'talk as a decision procedure'. But of course thousands or millions of people cannot realistically talk to one another all at once. When putting their theories into practice, deliberative democrats therefore tend to ... Read more
