The Case for Constitutional Social Rights -- The case for social rights -- The value of courts in light of the alternatives -- A basic interpretive approach -- Part II. A Theory of Judicial Restraint -- Institutional approaches to judicial restraint -- Democratic legitimacy -- Polycentricity -- Expertise -- Flexibility -- Part III. Incrementalism -- Incrementalism as a general theme.Countries that now contemplate constitutional reform often grapple with the question of whether to constitutionalise social rights. This book presents an argument for why, under the right conditions, doing so can be a good way to advance social justice. In making such a case, the author considers the nature of the social minimum, the role of courts among other institutions, the empirical record of judicial impact, and the role of constitutional text. He argues, however, that when enforcing such rights, judges ought to adopt a theory of judicial restraint structured around four principles: democratic legitimacy, polycentricity, expertise and flexibility. These four principles, when taken collectively, commend an incrementalist approach to adjudication. The book combines theoretical, doctrinal, empirical and comparative analysis, and is written to be accessible to lawyers, social scientists, political theorists and human rights advocates.Cambridge studies in constitutional law ;3.Social rightsUnited StatesJudicial powerSocial aspectsUnited StatesConstitutional lawUnited StatesPolitical questions and judicial powerUnited StatesSocial justiceUnited StatesSocial rightsPhilosophySocial rightsJudicial powerSocial aspectsConstitutional lawPolitical questions and judicial powerSocial justiceSocial rightsPhilosophy.342.08/5LAW018000bisacshKing Jeff1973-618615UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910822375403321Judging social rights1071505UNINA
