This book addresses how law and public policy cause or exacerbate
vulnerability in individuals and groups. Bringing together
scholars, judges and practitioners, it identifies how individuals
and groups can become vulnerabilised through the operation of law,
and examines how the State can acknowledge and remedy that impact.
The book offers not only a theoretical, ethical and normative
conception of vulnerability in law, but also an evaluation of the
diverse practices of responding to vulnerability in law through
accountability mechanisms and public campaigns. The analysis of
vulnerability contained in this volume is enhanced by the common
use of Ireland as a case study. Despite the robust rights
protections available at national, regional and international
level, Ireland remains a State where at risk people have
experienced vulnerability across a range of thematic areas, such as
criminal law, migration and asylum, historical abuse, LGBTI rights
and austerity. Drawing on comparative analyses and a consideration
of the role of international law in domestic settings, this book
offers a comparison of diverse national and transnational attempts
to ensure State accountability and responsiveness to legally
created vulnerabilities. The book demonstrates lessons learned from
theory and practice regarding how vulnerability can be experienced
by individuals and groups, structured by law and addressed through
legal and political action. This book will be of considerable
interest to socio-legal and "law and society" scholars, as well as
others working in international human rights, jurisprudence,
philosophy, legal theory, political theory, feminist theory, and
ethics.
