Abstract
This chapter concludes by considering the political implications of administrative justice reimagined. It does so by returning to the centrality of relationships for administrative justice, and in particular the relationship between citizen and state. The chapter proposes that administrative justice reimagined is unavoidably implicated in the prioritisation of democratic values and equality. It finds in the Aristotelian concept of ‘political friendship’ the establishment of administrative justice as a set of ‘bridging institutions’ that are supportive of human capability, social innovation and networked governance. It proposes that the realliance of administrative justice and human rights in the small places of daily life is one way of revitalising for a new digitalised era a post-war vision of social citizenship.
