Reviews

[This] excellent edited volume.is an important contribution to debates about social rights...The chapters in the book reflect a diverse range of theoretical perspectives...this very valuable and well edited book is a must read to adherents of social rights. -- Gad Barzilai The Law & Politics Book Review Vol.19, No.6, Exploring Social Rights is a well thoughtout compilation of articles circling around the social rights complex...The book commits itself clearly to the expansion of human welfare and the reduction of socio-economic inequalities...The book, although it is a compilation of articles, can be read like a monograph because all the articles harmonize well. At the same time, they offer wide-ranging and detailed insights into different aspects of the social rights debate. -- Ana Paula Barbosa European Journal of International Law Vol 19, No 5
