Autonomy alone is insufficient and must join other justice capabilities

Evidence

Ultimately, however, PeƱa leaves autonomy, well, autonomous, tying it with localism and the privileging of local views; this seems to leave us incapable of tying autonomy with other elements in a larger view of justice. For PeƱa, in other words, autonomy is necessary and sufficient as a master frame for justice; my argument is that it is necessary, but insufficient. For both a more full claim and experience of justice, and for the connection to environmental ends, autonomy needs to be tied to a number of other capabilities. — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 203
