A
Research handbook on economic, social and cultural rights as human rights which was recently published is co-edited by SERI board members Jackie Dugard and Lilian Chenwi. The Research Handbook offers an authoritative analysis of standards and jurisprudence and ultimately argues that a robust, reinforced approach and practice is needed to meet the human rights challenges of the 2020s . Contested and marginalized in legal research, the field of economic, social and cultural rights has experienced a bloom in scholarly attention over the past ten years. With contributions by leading scholars and practitioners, this Research Handbook represents an up-to-date and in-depth analysis of the most salient mechanisms, doctrines and cross-cutting issues in the field. It constitutes an indispensable resource for policy-makers, scholars and advocates interested in the contribution of human rights to the eradication of poverty and inequality.
