What are the prospects and means of achieving development through a
democratic politics of socio-economic rights? Starting from the
position that socio-economic rights are as legally and normatively
valid as civil and political rights, this anthology explores the
politics of acquiring and transforming socio-economic rights in
South Africa. The book brings together an interdisciplinary group
of leading scholars in an examination of the multifaceted politics
of social and economic policy-making, rights-based political
struggles and socio-economic rights litigations. The post-apartheid
South African experience shows that there is no guarantee that
democracy will eliminate poverty or reduce social inequality, but
also that democratic institutions and politics may provide
important means for asserting interests and rights in regard to
development. Thus it is argued that democratic politics of
socio-economic rights may democratise development while also
developing democracy.
