Reviews

... 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-a-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. Jaakko Kuosmanen Oxford Human Rights Hub, 1 December 2013
