Social Fairness in a Post-Pandemic World: Interdisciplinary Perspectives

Editat de Hikari Ishido, Jiro Mizushima, Masaya Kobayashi, Xiaofang Zhang
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 aug 2023
This book brings a much-needed re-examination of the concepts of social fairness and justice in light of the COVID-19 crisis. Through careful analysis of issues as diverse as the allocation of vaccines through the global system COVAX, women and gender, migrants and refugees, the environment, and social justice, the authors bring novel perspectives on openness, freedom, and well-being. This ambitious collection combines political, economic, historical, philosophical, and cultural analyses to examine whether it is possible to envision a “fair society” after the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“This is a timely book, exploring the vicissitudes of COVID 19 around the globe through the lens of fairness. The pandemic has revealed how much wellness is tied to fairness. The combination of conceptual, philosophical, legal, empirical, and regional perspectives can inform discussions at the local, national, and international levels.”

Isaac Prilleltensky, Former dean of the School of Education and Human Development and former vice provost for Institutional Culture at the University of Miami, USA
 
“Can we talk about justice without hypocrisy or self-defeat in face of the vast human suffering demonstrated by a global pandemic? This book, in short, is an answer.”

Kiichi Fujiwara, Professor Emeritus and Visiting Professor, Institute for Future Initiatives, University of Tokyo, Japan
