This powerful and empowering text offers a way forward for
alleviating human suffering, presenting a realistic roadmap for
enhanced global governance that can create workable solutions to
mass poverty. William Felice and Diana Fuguitt emphasize the
critical links between international human rights law,
international political economy, and global organizations to
formulate effective public policy to alleviate human suffering and
protect basic human rights for all. They introduce students to the
key legal and economic concepts central to economic and social
human rights, including the right to education, a healthy
environment, food, basic health care, housing, and clean water.
They analyze the legal approaches undertaken by the United Nations
and explain the key theories of international political economy
(including liberalism, nationalism, and structuralism) and central
economic concepts (including global public goods, economic
equality, and the capabilities approach). In the last decade, a
backlash against economic globalization has been fueled by a
variety of politicians around the world. A resurgent nationalism is
often pitted against international organizations and frameworks for
global cooperation. In this new edition, Felice and Fuguitt account
for how the current global political climate has affected national
and global policies for the provision of public goods and the
protection of human rights. They focus on practical policies and
actions that both state and nonstate actors can take to uphold
economic and social rights. As the first book to integrate these
legal and economic approaches, it provides a practical path to
action for students, academics, and policy makers alike.
