      abstract = {"This edited volume offers original scholarship on  economic and social human rights from leading and new  cutting-edge scholars in the fields of economics, law,  political science, sociology and anthropology. It analyzes  the core economic and social rights and the crucial topic  of non-discrimination, and includes an innovative section  on 'meta' rights. The main chapters answer important  questions about economic and social rights performance  around the world by emphasizing the obstacles that prevent  governments from fulfilling their obligations. The  interdisciplinary analysis offers a detailed and up-to-date  discussion to help scholars and policy makers find the best  ways to instantiate economic and social rights. The authors  examine the role of the associated obligations, and  especially the obstacles to respect, protect and fulfil  those obligations. The book's introductory and concluding  chapters address conceptual issues and correct mistakes  often made by critics of economic and social rights"--},
