ABSTRACT
Chapter 10 addresses the role of justice considerations in establishing a concert and argues that international order among great powers would be stable if key actors felt that they had obtained what they are entitled to. The authors thus put forward a constructivist reading of justice as perceived appropriateness and argue that higher satisfaction, which often correlates with achieving justice claims, improves the prospects of peace. Furthermore, the authors discuss how certain membership criteria and principles regulating the relations between members and nonmembers can be instrumental in minimizing the negative impact of a concert on perceived justice.
