Är Rättviseförmedlingen rättfärdigad? En normativ analys av Rättviseförmedlingen utifrån tre liberala författare

Sammanfattning: In recent years private initiatives have been founded in Sweden to try to increase the amount of individuals from marginalized groups that participate in the labor market. One private initiative called Rättviseförmedlingen has recently been hired by the Swedish Ministry of Culture to increase their diversity which has led to both praise and criticism, with a specific focus on how their practice relates to liberal notions of individual rights. By examining different normative standpoints within liberalism and constructing three ideal types based on the works of Ronald Dworkin, John Rawls and Robert Nozick, the purpose of this study is to examine how these different normative standpoints can justify Rättviseförmedlingens method. By explaining the implications of different interpretations of key concepts of liberalism – such as equality, liberty, justice – and how those interpretations affect the authors view on affirmative action, the results of this study shows that Dworkin’s and Rawl’s view of a liberalism with a commitment to fair opportunity of equality provides a normative standpoint which can justify the actions of Rättviseförmedlingen.
