This book is a five-country empirical study of the causes and
consequences of social and economic rights litigation. Detailed
studies of Brazil, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, and South Africa
present systematic and nuanced accounts of court activity on social
and economic rights in each country. The book develops new
methodologies for analyzing the sources of and variation in social
and economic rights litigation, explains why actors are now turning
to the courts to enforce social and economic rights, measures the
aggregate impact of litigation in each country, and assesses the
relevance of the empirical findings for legal theory. This book
argues that courts can advance social and economic rights under the
right conditions precisely because they are never fully independent
of political pressures.
