Maldistribution cannot be cured without prior social and structural recognition

Evidence

The response to such a claim is that without recognition, such an ideal distribution will never occur. If existing maldistribution is related to misrecognition, then without recognition—and not just self-respect, but social and structural recognition—we will never have such ideal processes or outcomes. — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 89

• XREF: This is the load-bearing causal claim for applying the typology across Legal Systems and Soundscape readings — a mechanism, not just vocabulary. — connects to: Assuming recognition within distributional theory fails empirically to address real injustice — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice:…, 90; Misdistribution stems from prior failures of social and cultural recognition. — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice:…, 61; Recognition without redistributive power fails to secure freedom for marginalized groups — Peter Morey, Islamophobia and the Novel, 163 (+6 more)
• DEFINE: Distinguishes thin self-respect from thick social and structural recognition as the operative precondition for just distribution.
