Rezensionen

"As Professor of Law and Humanities at Queen Mary College, University of London, Heinz argues in this thought provoking treatise that, contrary to the traditional tenets of Western justice theory, injustice is not primarily the negation, failure or absence of justice. Rather it is 'the constant product of regimes and norms of justice'. Furthermore, justice is not always the cure for injustice, but often its cause." - Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
