Unfulfilled legal needs are at a tipping point in much of the
Canadian justice system. The Justice Crisis assesses what is and
isn’t working in efforts to strengthen a fundamental right of
democratic citizenship: access to civil and family justice.
Contributors to this wide-ranging overview of recent empirical
research address key issues: the extent and cost of unmet legal
needs; the role of public funding; connections between legal and
social exclusion among vulnerable populations; the value of new
legal pathways; the provision of justice services beyond the courts
and lawyers; and the need for a culture change within the justice
system.
During the global economic crisis of 2008, countries around the
world used national policy spaces to respond to the economic crisis
in ways that shed new light on the possibilities for linkages
between international trade and human rights. This book introduces
the idea of policy space as an innovative way to reframe recent
developments in global governance. It brings together a
wide-ranging group of leading experts in international law, trade,
human rights, political economy, international relations, and
public policy who have been asked to reflect on this important
development in globalization. Their multidisciplinary contributions
provide explanations for why the global landscape for national
policy space has changed, clearly illustrate instances of this
change, and project the future paths for policy development in
social and economic policy spaces, especially with reference to
linkages between international trade and human rights in countries
from the Global North as well as Brazil, China, and India.
This book offers original contributions to the debate over the issue of equality of opportunity. Lesley Jacobs sets out a theory of equality of opportunity that presents equal opportunities as a normative device for the regulation of competition for scarce resources. He then considers the practical ways that courts, legislatures or public policy makers can address racial, class or gender injustices. Jacobs examines standardized tests, affirmative action, workfare, universal health-care, comparable worth, and the economic consequences of divorce in this context.
