from discussions with my past and current Ph.D. students who have worked on

Alan Lumley.
I am especially indebted to Brian Barry and David Miller for conversations
over a number of years on the issues discussed in this book. I have benefited
greatly from many discussions with both of them. I owe a special and extensive
debt to Peter Jones for innumerable hours spent discussing issues in political
philosophy in general and the topics of this book in particular. Thanks are also
due to James Pattison for compiling the index. I would also like to thank Dominic
Byatt for his encouragement and his patience. Finally, I am grateful to my parents,
Elizabeth and Stephen Caney, for proofreading the manuscript. Over and above
this, I am deeply grateful to both for their love and unstinting support.

utive Justice’, Political Studies(2001), 49/5: 974–97; part of Chapter 5 has been

ical Philosophy, and Rowman and Littlefield for permission to use this material.
