Violent and injustice are the two major political problems the world is facing today. By, offering a fresh, innovative analysis of the concept of violence, this book presents an original insight into the nature of injustice, which forces us to rethink the scope and aims of a theory of social justice. More specifically, it explores three close related questions: What is violence? What is the relationship between violence and social justice? Can social justice be promoted through violence?
