This book explores the convergence of law and public policy.
Drawing on case studies from Asia, Europe, the Middle East and
Australia, it examines how judicial and political institutions are
closely linked to the socio-economic concerns of the citizens. The
essays argue for the utilization of both legislative and executive,
private and public spheres of society as vehicles for
transformative social change and to safeguard against violations of
socio-economic rights. The volume will be of great interest to both
public and private stakeholders, as well as professionals,
including NGOs and think tanks, working in the areas of law,
government, and public policy. It will also be immensely useful to
academics and researchers of constitutionalism, policymaking and
policy integration, social justice and minority rights.

This book contains a comparative study of the way that South Africa
and India have attempted to alleviate poverty through their
constitutions and give effect to a person's right to social
assistance through social policy. The focus of the comparison is on
whether India's experience can inform South Africa's emerging
jurisprudence regarding the interpretation of the right to social
assistance. Although it is accepted that the government in South
Africa is increasingly following policies which stimulate the
economy and increase employment, it is argued that this cannot
count as a state plan for social assistance. Employment creation
is, however, vitally important in reducing the number of people
dependant upon limited state resources for social assistance and
comparisons are drawn between the Expanded Public Works Programme
and public works programmes in India.It is also submitted that an
extended interpretation of the right to life in South Africa,
similar to India's expansion of this right, may provide a solution
for the court in desperate cases where people are caught between
being employed and receiving state assistance.
