Justice and Large CorporationsLogsdon, Jeanne; Van Buren, Harry (SAGE Publications, 2008-12)Shareholder resolutions filed by socially concerned investors are a rich and underused source of data for research in social issues in the business and society field. This article examines how shareholder activists use the resolution process to advocate for issues related to social justice and corporate activities. After briefly reviewing the justice and shareholder activism literatures, the authors report the results of a study of 1,719 shareholder resolutions filed during the 1999—2005 period by members and affiliates of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, a coalition of approximately 275 religious organizations and other partners that seeks to use their investments to achieve social change. Among the findings is that the majority of justice-related resolutions dealt with employment and economic development issues. The authors conclude with a discussion of implications for corporate managers, shareholder activists, and management researchers.

正义的领域及其缺陷 [The Domain of Justice and its Flaw]郭, 夏娟 (浙江省社会科学院, 2004)罗尔斯的正义原则是否适用于作为私人领域的家庭,这是女性主义批评罗尔斯正 义论的一个重要话题。罗尔斯对该问题的论述存在着矛盾,他既承认家庭是社会基本结构 的"某种形式",又认为正义原则不应该运用于家庭领域。女性主义认为这种矛盾源自父权制传 统与自由主义的"两分法",这就需要解构"公共领域"与"私人领域"的二元对立结构,将正义原则 的运用范围从"公共领域"延伸到作为"私人领域"的家庭,在实现家庭正义的基础上,保证社会 基本制度的正义性。

‘. . . restoring the dignity of the victims’.Collste, Göran (Co-Action Publishing, 2010)The discussion of global justice has mainly focused on global distributive justice. This article argues for global rectificatory justice, mainly by former colonial states in favor of former colonized peoples. The argument depends on the following premises: (1) there is a moral obligation to rectify the consequences of wrongful acts; (2) colonialism was on the whole harmful for the colonies; (3) the present unjust global structure was constituted by colonialism; and (4) the obligation of rectificatory justice is trans-generational so long as there are at present identifiable beneficiaries and victims of past injustice. Although it is too demanding to ask for full compensation for 450 years of colonialism, the former colonial powers can in different ways and to the best of their efforts contribute to change the present inequalities that are the legacy of history. A theory of global rectificatory justice is complementary to a theory of global distributive justice and enables us to develop a fuller understanding of the meaning of global justice.
