Reviews

'This Research Handbook, written by recognized experts, presents a timely and much-needed appraisal of the theory and recent practice of social rights in international law. It examines carefully the general aspects of international law and social rights, followed by in-depth studies of universal and regional analyses of the protection of social rights. The Handbook concludes with a series of lucidly written chapters showing the inter-linkages with other international regimes.' -- Eibe Riedel, University of Mannheim, Germany
