Abstract

The article discusses the possibility of applying the principle of social justice in conflict study. Considerable attention is paid to the study of the essential characteristics of the phenomenon of social justice, its social content and specificity. The methodological analysis of the problem of social justice in different knowledge areas is carried out: in the socio-philosophical discourse in the context of the relationship between being and proper; in the economics in terms of its role in the distribution of resources and benefits, opportunities for motivation to work, ways to meet individual needs, etc.; in the aspect of legal science as a tool for reconciliation and a way to regulate social relations; in political science as a principle of action in the organization of power and the establishment of a political regime, as well as a means of unity in the community of citizens, fundamental values, etc. A significant place is given to the study of problems related to the application of the principle of social justice in the conflict resolution, relevance, and often necessary, the use of this principle in the agreement of interests of the conflicting parties. However, the problem is its subjectivity associated with the possible discrepancy between the expectations of the conflict parties, usually associated with the lack of monitoring of needs or preliminary standardization of relations. It is also noted that difficulties in application the principle of justice may arise at all stages of the conflict and require its correct use. At the same time, the article shows the importance and need to address the phenomenon of social justice to ensure optimal social interaction, which is reflected in contemporary conflict study. Contemporary theoretical approaches, such as drama theory by George C. Homans, based on the understanding of social justice of the actions of the parties to the conflict. The applied level in conflict study is also based on the algorithms of conciliation procedures related to ensuring a sense of social justice for the conflict parties. This is what makes it possible to achieve success in regulating conflict relations in all spheres of society.
