This volume is the first work of its kind to publish in one place the most influential published essays in the field on the widely influential alternative theory of justice known as the capabilities approach. The collection covers a wide range of topics and informs scholars and students coming to the study of the capabilities approach for the first time of both the importance and complexity of the wider debate, and sheds light on how the approach might be further improved and applied.
