Fulfilling Social and Economic Rights (Paperback)

One of the most ambitious legacies of the 20th century was the
universal commitment to ensure freedom from want as a human right.
How far have we progressed; to what extent are countries across the
world living up to this commitment? This book charts new territory
in examining the extent to which countries meet their obligations
to progressively realize social and economic rights - the rights to
education, food, health, housing, work and social security. States
have long escaped accountability for these commitments by claiming
inadequate resources. The authors develop an innovative evidence
based index, the Social & Economic Rights Fulfillment (SERF)
Index and Achievement Possibilities Frontier methodology, making
possible for the first time apples-to-apples comparisons of
performance across very differently situated countries and over
time. The book provides an overall global picture of progress,
regress and disparities amongst and within countries and explores
the factors influencing performance - including whether treaty and
legal commitments, gender equity, democracy/autocracy, and economic
growth, explain good performance - revealing surprising results.
The data provide empirical evidence to resolve some long standing
controversies over the principle of 'progressive realization'. The
book concludes by observing how the SERF Index can be used in
evidence based social science research, policy making and
accountability procedures to advance social and economic rights. By
defying the boundaries of traditional research disciplines, this
work fundamentally advances our knowledge about the status of and
factors promoting social and economic rights fulfillment at the
dawn of the 21st century.
