Caracteristici
This edited collection addresses some of the most important challenges in contemporary human rights law and practice.The central theme of the book is the linkage between public finance and the realisation (or not) of economic and social rights.While many books have tended to focus on the role of the courts in this area, this text considers the organs of government that have the greatest capacity for giving effect to economic and social rights.The book contains a multidisciplinary collection of essays by leading experts in the fields of human rights and public finance and will be of great interest to all those working or researching in the area.

Recenzii
... identifying and clarifying what the obligations to work towards the full realisation of the [International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights] rights entail vis-à-vis public finance is an urgent task that deserves close attention from scholars as well as practitioners. Given the fundamental importance of social and economic rights and the political rhetoric of 'permanent austerity' in many countries the collection is timely, and it provides an important contribution to the on-going debates.
The volume offers not only good quality contributions, but also a short biography of the authors, an explanation of the abbreviations, an introduction, and, at the end of the volume, a useful index...All the authors of this volume show, with both theoretical foundations and practical evidence, how neoliberal policies are insufficient to fight a severe financial crisis. Different paradigms...are proposed. Every contribution is well supported with references to international policies and concrete results, making the proposed alternative approaches desirable.
...a timely book contributing to the scholarly literature on our understanding of how public finance policies and institutions affect human rights...The discussion is well integrated and cohesive...a sophisticated critique...[It] provides an important contribution to the intensifying debates about the impact of financial belt-tightening on many cherished human rights.
