Global Crisis and Social Fairness

Interdisciplinary Perspectives

Hikari Ishido | Jiro Mizushima | Masaya Kobayashi | Xiaofang Zhang

Social Science / Human Geography

This book addresses contemporary global crises, ranging from pandemics and armed conflicts to economic instability and political corruption, through the lens of “social fairness”. Social fairness refers to the principle that all individuals across the globe and locally should be treated equitably, with access to opportunities, resources, and rights regardless of their background, identity, or circumstances. It encompasses concepts like justice, equality, and inclusivity, ensuring that societal systems do not favor one group over another but instead promote societal wellbeing for all. Drawing on multidisciplinary perspectives based on years of international research collaboration by the “New Frontiers of Studies on Fair Society” research network, the book explores how principles of justice and wellbeing can guide responses to these complex global challenges. This volume therefore takes a global approach to advance the development of multidimensional ideals of wellbeing and fairness and proposes a new public philosophy of prosperity and justice.
