Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
'A very interesting volume, which brings together the latest scholarship on the constitutional protection of welfare rights. A must-read for legal and political theorists interested in this issue, as well as anti-poverty activists and lawyers.' Cecile Fabre, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK 'Rich in theoretical reflection, empirical analysis, and policy implications, the book represents a highly commendable contribution to the comparative study of democratization, judicial politics, and democratic citizenship. Both scholars and practitioners will benefit greatly from this multi-faceted study.' Andreas Schedler,CIDE, Mexico 'This book contains detailed analysis of recent experience in countries where social and economic interests have been enforced through the courts. It is important reading for anyone concerned with protecting the basic needs of the least advantaged.' Thomas Pogge, The Australian National University, Australia, Charles Sturt University, Australia, and University of Melbourne, Australia 'This important volume focuses on trends in a wide range of key countries where social rights litigation has indeed recently developed some real momentum. It explores the factors behind these developments, tracing their origins and institutional trajectories, and also considers the broader political dynamics involved, recognising the limitations as well as the potential of this approach to social incorporation of the poor.' Laurence Whitehead, Nuffield College, University of Oxford, UK ' The role of courts in social rights litigation is bound to remain a contentious issue. Scholars and policy-makers interested in understanding the theoretical and practical issues surrounding this debate cannot afford to ignore this book.' Latin American Studies Read more...
