How and why do some ideas about social justice, resource (re)distribution and inequality get translated into policy and law while others do not? This unit examines how a web of decisions and actions that allocate values come into being. A system of laws constitutes a critical component of this process. Through the use of case studies, students are given the opportunity to explore the policy and legislative dynamics that underpin the emergence, development and demise of value choices.
