Reviews
'The book offers a comparative analysis of five countries, South Africa, Brazil, India, Nigeria and Indonesia. Each case is rich in empirical data, as well as relevant social and political factors ... This book is written to be accessible to both the serious empirical scholar of law and justice, as well as anyone interested in social justice and the protection of rights for disadvantaged populations. The ideas presented offer academics, scholars, and activists alike, the possibility of applying theoretical and empirical analysis to their own practices to further social justice ... Overall, this book successfully merges theoretical analysis regarding the courts as policy makers and their ability to protect rights with empirical data through the case studies.' Jamila Smith-Loud, Department of Government and Politics, University of Maryland, "For decades now, governments and commentators have debated at a level of stunning abstraction whether economic and social rights are really rights, and whether courts could or should adjudicate them. At last Gauri and Brinks have brought to the debate a sophisticated empirical analysis of the experience in key countries. The result is a thoughtful, original, and deeply insightful comparative study." - Philip Alston, John Norton Pomeroy Professor of Law, New York University School of Law, 'Judicial enforcement of social and economic rights has generated much theoretical controversy but little empirical work. Gauri and Brinks have taken a giant step forward with this methodologically innovative volume. The chapters fit together seamlessly, and provide a host of comparative and theoretical insights into the causes and consequences of judicial intervention in social and economic rights. The result is a major contribution to the literatures on rights, judicial power and social change, and the role of law in development.' Tom Ginsburg, University of Chicago Law School, "Judicial enforcement of social and economic rights has generated much theoretical controversy but little empirical work. Gauri and Brinks have taken a giant step forward with this methodologically innovative volume.

The formal court system is playing an increasingly important role in enforcing human rights claims in many countries, frequently with life-saving impacts, as part of the overarching institutional architecture and social mobilization for human rights accountability. Gauri and Brinks have produced a timely, distinctive and important comparative empirical analysis of prerequisites for effective legal claims to socio-economic rights, and their social policy implications. I have no doubt that this book will appeal to a wide readership of public policy makers, economists, social scientists and lawyers, transcending stale theoretical dichotomies between rights of different kinds and showing vividly what a cross-disciplinary field human rights has become." --Louise Arbour, UN Commissioner for Human Rights, For decades now, governments and commentators have debated at a level of stunning abstraction whether economic and social rights are really rights, and whether courts could or should adjudicate them. At last Gauri and Brinks have brought to the debate a sophisticated empirical analysis of the experience in key countries.

Louise Arbour, UN Commissioner for Human Rights, "The detailed, well-documented, and distinctive country studies offer rich empirical accounts in their own right. Bookended by the editors' efforts to explain the role and impact of legal actors and institutions in the development of SE rights, the country chapters work to both expose diverse legal landscapes and uncover the circumstances that give rise to legalization." Perspectives on Politics, Helena Silverstein, Lafayette College, 'The book offers a comparative analysis of five countries, South Africa, Brazil, India, Nigeria and Indonesia. Each case is rich in empirical data, as well as relevant social and political factors … This book is written to be accessible to both the serious empirical scholar of law and justice, as well as anyone interested in social justice and the protection of rights for disadvantaged populations.
