But the development has attracted critics who claim that this turn to rights has not generated social transformation in practice. This book sets out to assess one part of the puzzle and asks what has been the role and impact of socio-economic strategies used by civil society actors. Focusing on a range of socio-economic rights and national trends in law and political economy, the book's authors show how socio-economic rights have influenced the development of civil society discourse and action. The evidence suggests that some strategies have achieved material and political impact but this is conditional on the nature of the claim, degree of mobilisation and alliance building, and underlying constraints. 606 $aHuman rights$zSouth Africa 606 $aCivil rights$zSouth Africa 606 $aSocial justice$zSouth Africa 606 $aCivil society$zSouth Africa 606 $aSociological jurisprudence 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aCivil rights 615 0$aSocial justice 615 0$aCivil society 615 0$aSociological jurisprudence. 676 $a330 702 $aLangford$b Malcolm 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788947203321 996 $aSocio-economic rights in South Africa$93776433 997 $aUNINA
