Iris Marion Young: Gender, Justice, and the Politics of Difference (Routledge Innovators in Political Theory)

    Gender: Maintaining that gender is both conceptually and politically meaningful, Young theorized gender in terms of structures that, in combination, position different people we call "women" in different ways, such that some women have some structures in common, without all women sharing all gendered structures in common.

    Justice: Young’s early writings on a critical theory of justice evolved in her later and posthumously published works where she developed an account of justice that brought together her theorization of structure with her concern to respond to contemporary claims of injustice.

    The Politics of Difference: Young rejected universal and abstract theories of justice and maintained that justice instead required attending to the experiences of people marked by difference.

This volume will prove useful to scholars and students working in the fields of critical and political theory, feminist theory, international law and public diplomacy.
