Abstract
This chapter argues that there is a link between hegemony and the ethical, the normative being presented in ethical terms and unity being the consequence of justice. This frames our discussion of justice. This chapter is devoted to the relationship between justice and the changing moral order. It considers a range of different approaches and the relationship between justice and different dimensions of inequality.

Notes
- 1.
Benhabib (2002:197–198) persists with a similar argument. On the other hand no such argument is made with reference to global English segmenting state labour markets.
- 2.
Touraine (1994:55) replaces individual inequality with the notion of social groups constantly in positions of inequality. Collective action does not aim to redress individual inequality but strives to direct attention to the injustice of inequality in the name of the dominated. All forms of social organisation are hierarchical, any appeal against the consequences of this hierarchy being a moral call for equality.
- 3.
Essentially this is the same argument as that made by Anderson (1983) with reference to what he calls ‘imagined communities’.
- 4.
Some argue that nomadisation, understood as the attempt to deny the link between identity and place in order to show that identities are constructed in and through hegemonic struggles, on the one hand, and hybridisation on the other, can undermine antagonism based on territoriality (Mouffe 1994).
- 5.
There is a sense in which Habermas’ understanding of the individual as formed in and through intersubjectivity and interaction overlaps with Foucault’s notion of the constitution of the individual as subject. Of course they derive from quite different problematics.
- 6.
The depth of involvement and the breadth of discussion on the issues associated with the referendum on Scotland’s independence is a case in point.
