Structural injustice poses not only societal, but also theoretical challenges. Can an injustice be such that it is not reducible to the sum of actions of individual agents? If so, who – if anyone – is to be held responsible for such injustice? Does structural injustice presuppose that groups have duties of sorts? What types of societal or decision-making structures are conducive to structural injustice, and how can we correct for these?
