Sovereign Debt and Socio-economic Rights Beyond Crisis

"Today, when the relationship between sovereign debt and economic and social rights (ESR)1 is mentioned, austerity2 inevitably comes to mind. At least in Europe, austerity materialised, in the aftermath of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, as a consequence of the Eurozone debt crisis, negatively affecting the realisation of many of the rights enshrined in core international human rights instruments, such as the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and the European Social Charter, and producing what, in hindsight, clearly appears as a permanent restructuring of the welfare systems of several European countries. The attention of human rights scholars, monitoring bodies and civil society has, therefore, largely refocused on the human rights impacts of austerity and economic reform policies3 (and, more recently, on the strains put by the coronavirus disease COVID-19 pandemic on state resources, and the impact of pre-existing debt on the emergency response efforts of several countries),4 after that, in recent decades, it had been mainly directed to issues of debt restructuring,5 debt relief,6 and odious debt"--

The Ripple Effect

In The Ripple Effect, Enze Han argues that a focus on the Chinese state alone is not sufficient for a comprehensive understanding of China's influence in Southeast Asia. Instead, we must look beyond the Chinese state, to non-state actors from China, such as private businesses and Chinese migrants. These actors affect people's perception of China in a variety of ways, and they often have wide-ranging as well as long-lasting effects on bilateral relations. Han proposes that to understand this increasingly globalized China, we need more conceptual flexibility regarding which Chinese actors are important to China's relations, and how they wield this influence, whether intentional or not.

  • Publisher: BRILL

This book explores strategies for limiting transnational market failures, governance failures and constitutional failures impeding protection of the universally agreed sustainable development goals like climate change mitigation and access to justice and transnational rule-of-law. Can multilevel democratic and judicial protection of fundamental rights and public goods across frontiers be extended through plurilateral agreements? Can transnational economic and environmental constitutionalism be reconciled with ‘constitutional pluralism’ and with democratic constitutionalism depending on individual and democratic consent of free and equal citizens? Will judicial challenges (e.g. of EU carb...

The Routledge Handbook on Extraterritorial Human Rights Obligations brings international scholarship on transnational human rights obligations into a comprehensive and wide-ranging volume. Each chapter combines a thorough analysis of a particular issue area and provides a forward-looking perspective of how extraterritorial human rights obligations (ETOs) might come to be more fully recognized, outlining shortcomings but also best state practices. It builds insights gained from state practice to identify gaps in the literature and points to future avenues of inquiry. The Handbook is organized into seven thematic parts: conceptualization and theoretical foundations; enforcement; migration and ...

Grundrechte auf staatliche Leistungen haben einen Preis. Nicht alles, was grundrechtlich geboten ist, kann in optimaler Weise erfullt werden, da die staatlichen Ressourcen begrenzt sind. Verfassungsgerichte setzen den "Vorbehalt des Moglichen" ein, um anzuzeigen, dass die Geltung der Grundrechte von den Moglichkeiten eines Staates abhangt. Lino Munaretto betrachtet den "Vorbehalt des Moglichen" aus verschiedenen rechtstheoretischen Perspektiven und entwickelt hieraus dogmatische Grundsatze. Dabei legt er ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Frage, wann welche staatlichen Organe legitimiert sind, Verteilungskonflikte zu entscheiden und problematisiert die Rolle von Gerichten, die in die Verteilung von offentlichen Ressourcen eingreifen. In einer praktischen Erprobung werden die Befunde schliesslich anhand eines konkreten Rechts untersucht: dem Grundrecht auf Gesundheit.

The Cambridge Handbook of New Human Rights

The book provides in-depth insight to scholars, practitioners, and activists dealing with human rights, their expansion, and the emergence of 'new' human rights. Whereas legal theory tends to neglect the development of concrete individual rights, monographs on 'new' rights often deal with structural matters only in passing and the issue of 'new' human rights has received only cursory attention in literature. By bringing together a large number of emergent human rights, analysed by renowned human rights experts from around the world, and combining the analyses with theoretical approaches, this book fills this lacuna. The comprehensive and dialectic approach, which enables insights from individual rights to overarching theory and vice versa, will ensure knowledge growth for generalists and specialists alike. The volume goes beyond a purely legal analysis by observing the contestation, rhetorics, the struggle for recognition of 'new' human rights, thus speaking to human rights professionals beyond the legal sphere.

Max

Nazi Germany 1936. The Lebensborn program is going strong as German women are carefully selected by the Nazis and recruited to give birth to new representatives of the Aryan race. Inside one of these women is Max, a fetus waiting to be born and fulfill his destiny as the perfect Aryan. Max is taken away from his birth mother as soon as he enters the world. He will be raised under the leadership and ideologies of the Nazi Party. As he grows up without a mom, without any affection or tenderness, according to Nazi educational precepts, he soon becomes the mascot of the program. But things don't go according to plan. Originally published in French, Sarah Cohen-Scali's touching, illuminating, and heartbreaking book has been translated for an English-speaking audience. A Neal Porter Book
