This exciting Research Handbook combines practitioner and academic
perspectives to provide a comprehensive, cutting edge analysis of
economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR), as well as the
connection between ESCR and other rights. Offering an authoritative
analysis of standards and jurisprudence, it argues for an expansive
and inclusive approach to ESCR as human rights. Expert contributors
discuss ESCR-related structures and mechanisms in the
international, regional and domestic spheres, and chapters explore
the details, interpretations and current developments of each
thematic right, illustrating the critical cross-cutting and fault
line issues relating to global ESCR. Taking a far-sighted approach,
contributors critically assess the failure of dominant human rights
paradigms to address ESCR and/or create a framework for
multilateral responses to emerging global threats, arguing that a
robust, reinforced ESCR approach and practice is needed to meet the
human rights challenges of the 2020s. This Research Handbook is a
valuable contribution to the human rights field. Providing an
overview of ESCR-related systems, cases and challenges around the
world, it will be particularly beneficial for advocates, scholars
and students interested in international human rights as well as to
lawyers and judges considering ESCR in the context of domestic law.
International and local NGOs and human rights organizations will
also find this an essential guide on mechanisms to advance ESCR as
human rights. Contributors include: R. Balakrishnan, J.

The embrace of socio-economic rights in South Africa has featured
prominently in scholarship on constitution making, legal
jurisprudence and social mobilisation. But the development has
attracted critics who claim that this turn to rights has not
generated social transformation in practice. This book sets out to
assess one part of the puzzle and asks what has been the role and
impact of socio-economic strategies used by civil society actors.
Focusing on a range of socio-economic rights and national trends in
law and political economy, the book's authors show how
socio-economic rights have influenced the development of civil
society discourse and action. The evidence suggests that some
strategies have achieved material and political impact but this is
conditional on the nature of the claim, degree of mobilisation and
alliance building, and underlying constraints.
