520 |a What is fair? The choice of an allocation norm, whether it be need, merit or equality, can either foster cooperation or conflict. Because of the general irreconcilability of these principles of justice, people are forced to make complex trade-offs when allocating resources. The resulting decisions are shaped by individual factors and context, but also the situation in which an allocation problem arises. Addressing these three levels simultaneously and taking the inherent interdependency of outcomes into consideration, this book adheres to a mechanism-based approach. Its findings support a functionalist perspective on distributive justice, highlighting the inherent relevance of the relational structure for the choice of allocation norms. 
520 |a Was ist gerecht? Die Wahl einer Allokationsnorm, sei es Gleichheit, Bedarf oder Leistung, kann zu Kooperation führen oder Konflikte begünstigen. Da diese Prinzipien generell unvereinbar sind, sind Menschen bei Verteilungsproblemen gezwungen komplexe Abwägungen zu machen. Ihre Entscheidungen sind dabei von individuellen, kontextuellen sowie situationellen Faktoren beeinflusst. Dieses Buch verfolgt einen Mechanismen-basierten Ansatz, der diese drei Ebenen berücksichtigt und dem Umstand Rechnung trägt, dass die Outcomes bei Verteilungsproblemen interdependent sind. Die Resultate sind in Einklang mit einer funktionalistischen Perspektive und verdeutlichen die inhärente Relevanz der Beziehungsstruktur für die Wahl von Gerechtigkeitsprinzipien.
