Abstract: This paper suggests an account of sufficientarianism-i.e. that justice is fulfilled when everyone has enough-laid out within a general framework of the capability approach. In doing so, it seeks to show that sufficiency is especially plausible as an ideal of social justice when constructed around key capabilitarian insights such as freedom, pluralism, and attention to empirical interconnections between central capabilities. Correspondingly, we elaborate on how a framework for evaluating social justice would lo… Show more

“…Several capability theorists have advocated combining capability and sufficiency, for example in Ruger's Health Capability Paradigm , in the context of the ICECAP measures (Mitchell, Roberts et al 2015) and in the conceptual work of Nielsen and Axelsen (2017).…”

“…Various forms of sufficiency have been advocated as a decision-rule by capability theorists , Alkire and Foster 2011, Nielsen and Axelsen 2017. As a broad concept, sufficientarian approaches can be defined as "a commitment to achieving a threshold level of whichever currency of justice is deemed appropriate" (Rid 2017), or alternatively as the normative stance in which "justice is fulfilled when everyone has enough" (Nielsen and Axelsen 2017, p46).…”

“…Marta Nussbaum (2011) identified ten capacities or constituent parts of human development, and poverty can be understood as deprivation of such capacities . In the same line, Nielsen and Axelsen (2016) mentioned three meta-categories of needs, in which those related to energy can be conceptualised as: a) biological and physical well-being; b) autonomy, training and knowl-edge; and c) the search for valuable purposes within the community. The latter allows a link to be made to the notion of energy justice.…”

“…From the conceptualisation of energy poverty to the demand for energy justice Using the term "energy justice" is essentially recognising the ability of people to make energy decisions that improve their quality of life . Many authors have advocated setting standards of justice , or sufficiency thresholds (Nielsen and Axelsen, 2016;, which ensure access to affordable, safe, sustainable and modern energy supplies for all, as stated in the Millennium Development Goals Franco et al 2017) and in the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations General Assembly (2015). As the energy sector contributes significantly to the generation of global inequality , it is important to cause the concept of justice to be involved in the sector's decision-making .…”

“…29 Capability-sufficientarians in general refer to an objective criterion of wellbeing -fleshed out as being adequately capable in regard to central human functioningsand ground their distributive justice account on foundational satiability. 30 Importantly, this involves value-pluralism in the form that there exists various incommensurable capability-dimension that are relevant to justice, all of which require sufficiency in their own domain. Thus, Nussbaum's listed central human capabilities should be understood as 10 separate capabilities which are each independently necessary for and only together sufficient for minimal justice to be fulfilled.…”
