Justice for All provides a comprehensive examination of social equity in American public administration. The breadth of coverage-theory, context, history, implications in policy studies, applications to practice, and an action agenda-cannot be found elsewhere. The book's introduction examines the values that support social equity (fairness, equality, justice) in relationship to each other, and contrasts equality to the value of freedom and related norms such as individualism and competition. It is the tension between these competing value clusters that shapes the debate about social equity in the United States. Subsequent chapters advance this theme: for example, contrasting the choice between combating inequality and promoting development in urban regions (chapter 5) and between affirmative action and advancing diversity (chapter 6). The book concludes with an agenda that affirms a more active and comprehensive definition of social equity for the field and elaborates how that definition can be converted into actions supported by the measurement of access, procedural fairness, quality, and results. The connecting theme throughout the text is the struggle with setbacks and successes to create a more perfect union based on social equity and justice for all. Book jacket.
