SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
In the space of two decades, social rights have emerged from the shadows and margins of human rights jurisprudence. The authors in this book provide a critical analysis of almost 2000 judgments and decisions from 29 national and international jurisdictions. The breadth of the decisions is vast.
