In particular, it critiques the existing approaches in the critical literature that either reduces redistribution to a simple subset of recognition, or insists that recognition is both necessary and sufficient for redistribution to occur. It argues, instead, that the introduction of the relatively weak assumption of (minimal) individual liberty is required for recognition, and that while recognition is necessary, it is insufficient for redistribution. It also considers the sustainability of voluntary redistribution in a liberal society, and voluntary recognition in an authoritarian society. Finally, the approach is applied to the problems of discrimination, genocide, and ethnic conflict. 2012-03-30T07:33:20Z 2012-03-30T07:33:20Z 2010 Journal Article Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization 01672681 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/5541 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article
