Social Rights and economics claims to health care and education in developing countries
World Development, 2003Co-Authors: Varun GauriAbstract:The author analyzes contemporary Rights-based and economic approaches to health care and education in developing countries. He assesses the foundations and uses of Social Rights in development, outlines an economic approach to improving health and education services, and then highlights the differences, similarities, and the hard questions that the economic critique poses for Rights. The author argues that the policy consequences of Rights overlap considerably with a modern economic approach. Both the Rights-based and the economic approaches are skeptical that electoral politics and de facto market rules provide sufficient accountability for the effective and equitable provision of health and education services, and that further intrasectoral reforms in governance, particularly those that strengthen the hand of service recipients, are needed. There remain differences between the two approaches. Whether procedures for service delivery are ends in themselves, the degree of disaggregation at which outcomes should be assessed, the consequences of long-term deprivation, metrics used for making tradeoffs, and the behavioral distortions that result from subsidies are all areas where the approaches diverge. Even here, however, the differences are not irreconcilable, and advocates of the approaches need not regard each other as antagonists.

economic and Social Rights budgets and the convention on the Rights of the child
2013Co-Authors: Aoife NolanAbstract:Recent years have seen an explosion in methodologies for monitoring children’s economic and Social Rights (ESR). Key examples include the development of indicators, benchmarks, child Rights-based budget analysis and child Rights impact assessments. The Committee on the Rights of the Child has praised such tools in its work and has actively promoted their usage. Troublingly, however, there are serious shortcomings in the Committee’s approach to the ESR standards enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), which threaten to impact upon the efficacy of such methodologies. This article argues that the Committee has failed to engage with the substantive obligations imposed by Article 4 and many of the specific ESR guaranteed in the CRC in sufficient depth. As a result, that body has not succeeded in outlining a coherent, comprehensive child Rights-specific ESR framework. Using the example of child Rights-based budget analysis, the author claims that this omission constitutes a significant obstacle to those seeking to evaluate the extent to which states have met their ESR-related obligations under the CRC. The article thus brings together and addresses key issues that have so far received only very limited critical academic attention, namely, children’s ESR under the CRC, the relationship between budgetary decision-making and the CRC, and child Rights-based budget analysis.

addressing economic and Social Rights violations by non state actors through the role of the state a comparison of regional approaches to the obligation to protect
Human Rights Law Review, 2009Co-Authors: Aoife NolanAbstract:This article centres on the state's obligation to ensure that third party non-state actors do not interfere with the enjoyment of economic and Social Rights (ESR) by Rights-holders. In it, the author analyses and compares the different ways in which regional bodies deal with the obligation to protect ESR, seeking to account for the variety in their approaches. Amongst other things, the article highlights the way in which the regional bodies in question have referred to, and relied on, the jurisprudence of other international and regional human Rights entities in fleshing out the state's obligation to protect ESR under their own legal frameworks. While focusing on the obligation to protect ESR in particular, the author's findings cast light more generally on the interpretation and application of ESR by the regional human Rights bodies under consideration.

international perspectives on securing human and Social Rights and diversity gains at work in the aftermath of the global economic crisis and in times of austerity
European Management Review, 2019Co-Authors: Joana Vassilopoulou, Olivia Kyriakidou, Jose Pascal Da Rocha, Andri Georgiadou, Michalle Mor E BarakAbstract:This editorial illuminates the evidence of how human and Social Rights and diversity gains at work are under attack in the aftermath of the global economic crisis and in times of austerity. We provide a brief overview of the six articles in this issue, which draw upon a wide range of theories and engage with different, but in many ways connected, issues pertinent to human and Social right, diversity and equality in the light of the economic crisis and austerity. The editorial concludes discussing a number of dilemmas and problematic issues that remain despite the increased scholarly attention to the threat to human and Social Rights and diversity gains at work in current times. Lastly, we offer recommendations to how diversity advocates can develop new approaches and strategies in order to resist the current threat to the diversity agenda internationally.

Immigrants' Social Rights in comparative perspective: Welfare regimes, forms of immigration and immigration policy regimes
Journal of European Social Policy, 2006Co-Authors: Diane SainsburyAbstract:In analysing the Social Rights of immigrants, this paper draws on insights from comparative welfare state research and international migration studies. On the premise that the type of welfare regime has an impact on immigrants’ Social Rights, it utilizes Esping-Andersen’s welfare regime typology as a point of departure. However, this typology must be complemented by two analytical constructs borrowed from the international migration literature: the immigration policy regime and entry categories associated with the form of immigration. The paper examines the Social Rights of immigrants in three countries generally regarded as exemplars of the welfare regime types: the United States, representing the liberal regime; germany, the conservative corporatist regime; and Sweden, the Social democratic regime. It maps out immigrants’ formal incorporation into the welfare systems of the three countries and pays special attention to legislation from 1990 onwards in order to understand the interplay between welfare regimes, the forms of immigration, and the immigration policy regimes in shaping immigrants’ Social Rights.
