Social and Territorial Justice as a Subject of Discourse in the Area of Social Security

Abstract

The article analyzes the relationship between territorial justice and social security, considering the polarization of territorial spaces and various social doctrines. The study focuses on contemporary challenges related to social security, particularly in the context of growing economic inequalities. The authors attempt to understand the mechanisms that influence the fair distribution of resources, services, and life opportunities across different regions. The aim of the article is to explore the relationship between social justice and the state’s obligations in shaping social order in accordance with the core-periphery theory. It is emphasized that the state should actively work towards reducing inequalities and ensuring conditions for harmonious social development. The research methodology includes an analysis of perspectives present in the literature, allowing for the identification of different approaches to the issues of social and territorial justice. The results of the analysis indicate a varied approach to the issue of distribution.

The article’s contribution to the literature lies in presenting new perspectives on the role of territorial justice in building social security. The authors suggest that sustainable social and economic development is possible only when there is a coherent social policy that considers the specific needs of different regions and communities. The article makes an important contribution to the discussion on the state’s role in ensuring social justice as a key element of social security.
