Abstract
This handbook attempts to substantiate the academic legacy and the research prospects of the International Society for Justice Research (ISJR). It includes a wide range of topics, such as disciplinary approaches to justice research (e.g., sociology, philosophy), the theory of the justice motive, mapping of the multifaceted forms of justice (e.g., distributive justice), and justice in context-bound spheres (e.g., politics and work) and related domains (e.g., morality). In doing so, the handbook is meant both to present a comprehensive “state of the art” in the field of justice research theory and to put forward an agenda for future interdisciplinary and international justice research. It is worth noting that the authors represent ISJR’s leading senior and junior scholarship. The compilation of their research within a single framework exposes readers to high quality academic work that embodies past, current, and future trends of justice research.
