ABSTRACT

Peacebuilding approaches have placed emphasis on the restoration of political relationships and symbolic notions of community reconciliation, paying limited attention to the material causes of violence. In South Africa, the historical structural economic violence has been maintained, and after the formal end of apartheid, a lack of equitable distribution of resources is ongoing. This article conceptually and empirically argues that distributive justice measures are a way of compensating those affected by structural economic violence and addressing structural inequalities. Spatial reparations, we argue, could support readjustment of the socio-economic causes and consequences of violence in conjunction with promoting social justice.

摘要

建设和平方法强调恢复政治关系和社区和解的象征性概念，对暴力的物质原因关注有限。在南非，历史性的结构性经济暴力一直存在，在种族隔离正式结束后，资源分配不公平的问题仍在继续。本文从概念上和实证上认为，分配正义措施是一种补偿受结构性经济暴力影响的人和解决结构性不平等问题的方式。我们认为，空间赔偿可以支持重新调整暴力的社会经济原因和后果，同时促进社会正义。
