It is certain that creating a consensus on social justice in Turkey is very crucial considering the importance of social justice for securing the legitimacy of a state. In light of “justice as fairness” conceptualized by John Rawls who is an American political thinker, the issue of social justice in Turkey, with special reference to income distribution as well as regional disparities, is discussed and elaborated upon. It is argued in the study that in order for an overlapping consensus to emerge on social justice in Turkey, income inequalities as well as regional differences need to be minimalized. It is observed that Gini coefficient which measures the level of income inequality is relatively high in Turkey and also the relative share of the Eastern regions out of the GDP in Turkey is relatively low.
