Social Rights and Human Welfare
Autor Hartley Deanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mar 2015
Taking an international perspective, the first part of the book considers how social rights can be understood and critiqued in theory – discussing ideas around citizenship, human needs and human rights, collective responsibility and ethical imperatives. The second part of the book looks at social rights in practice, providing a comparative examination of their development globally, before looking more specifically at rights to livelihood, human services and housing as well as ways in which these rights can be implemented and enforced. The final section re-evaluates prevailing debates about rights-based approaches to poverty alleviation and outlines possible future directions.
The book provides a comprehensive overview of social rights in theory and practice. It questions recent developments in social policy. It challenges certain dominant ideas concerning the basis of human rights. It seeks to re-frame our understanding of social rights as the articulation of human needs and presents a radical new 'post-Marshallian' theory of human rights.

Notă biografică
Hartley Dean is professor of social policy at the London School of Economics. His 30 years in academia were preceded by a 12-year career as a welfare rights worker in one of London's most deprived multicultural neighbourhoods. His principal teaching and research interests stem from concerns with poverty, social justice and welfare rights. Among his more recently published books are Welfare Rights and Social Policy (Prentice Hall, 2002), Social Policy (Polity, 2006 & 2012) and Understanding Human Need (The Policy Press, 2010).
Recenzii
This thoughtful, wide-ranging and clearly written text provides both a useful introduction to the subject of social rights and a valuable critical analysis of their meaning and significance. Hartley Dean's exposition of a 'post-Marshallian' theory of social rights gives plenty of food for thought.
