Delineating the Distinctions and Intersections of Procedural Justice and Procedural Value within the Framework of Social Development

Abstract

Procedural justice and procedural value constitute two significant facets of procedural theory. However, the literature often fails to distinctly delineate the relationship between them. Numerous studies even treat procedural justice as a direct subset of procedural value. Despite theoretical overlaps, there remains a crucial distinction between procedural justice and procedural value. This paper aims to situate both concepts within the framework of social development to examine their similarities and differences. By doing so, it seeks to further elucidate the relationship between the two and offer a nuanced perspective.
