The excellent essays advance understanding in multiple scholarly areas, including the theory and implementation of economic and social rights, sustainable development, economic equality and the aims and achievements of the post-WW2 human rights project. This important book will be a must-read for academics, activists and policy-makers working in these areas. * Aoife Nolan, Professor of International Human Rights Law, University of Nottingham, UK * The right to the continuous improvement of living conditions has been neglected in the past, and risks being ridiculed in a future in which the need to save the planet from uninhabitability will require radically different economic strategies and approaches to growth. This book brilliantly rescues the concept and shows how it could and should become central to the most pressing debates in the human rights field. * Philip Alston, John Norton Pomeroy Professor of Law, New York University, USA * As the first piece of scholarship dedicated to an extensive investigation of this neglected right, The Right to Continuous Improvement of Living Conditions offers an extremely novel and valuable contribution to not only the field of socioeconomic rights, but international rights discourse more broadly. * Human Rights Review * In addressing a long-neglected element of international human rights law ... this ground-breaking volume makes a key contribution to human rights scholarship.
