Abstract

The write-up attempts to develop a conceptual and theoretical framework on the theme of human action of justice, and successively link it with the actions of governance in a nation. It is devoted to a survey of interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary literature on private and public human conducts of justice. Such a survey is warranted so as to further elaborate the assertions to the effect that both justice and governance are actions – the effectuations of enterprises of human executions. The problem is that justice cannot be treated as a stand-alone activity independent of the patterns and characteristics of administration, management and steerage in a nation. The second problem is that the thinking, deliberations and making of judgements and policy are but antecedent and precedent to justice, and not as such justice as it is the act and doing of uprightness and propriety that constitute justice proper. To act towards the action of propriety, uprightness and justice is to accomplish a set of valued hybrid accomplishments and performances in terms of doing and undoing of something that is valued morally, equitably and legitimately by all, and all these constitute an essential component of good, righteous and efficient governance. Much of the accomplishments on the scale of fairness and justice – individual and societal – depend on the executions of the interplay of civil society and government in the course of steerage of the nation. The narrative of the paper begins with the literature on the themes of act of propriety and equity and links it with the ambit of a wider and broader plethora of completion of social and economic executions under the framework of national democratic supervision, administration and stewardship of welfare and development.
