Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xiv + 209 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is gently age-toned, clean, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. No foxing, no age spotting. Issued without a dust jacket. -- The book explores the innovative intersection of legal human rights frameworks… and practical measures to reduce global poverty. Human Rights as a Tool: The authors argue that while law is not a "panacea" for poverty, it provides an indispensable basis for social mobilisation and political action. Focus on Latin America: Many contributors are Latin American, bringing a specific focus to the continent's history of extreme wealth inequality and indigenous struggles. Indigenous Rights: A significant portion of the text is dedicated to how indigenous peoples use human rights norms in their specific struggles against marginalisation and poverty. The Right to Development: The book examines the then-emerging legal notion of the "right to development" and its implications for social justice. The volume remains a foundational text in the "rights-based approach" to development, moving the conversation from charity to legal entitlements.
