It presents a comparison of affirmative action measures and the actual experience in implementing them. The work addresses the theoretical framework informing the design of such measures and the international framework aimed at setting global standards and influencing the direction of national policies in this field. It then seeks to assess the progress of such legal and policy measures in Central and South America, China, India, South Africa and the United Kingdom. This collective research effort, based on a wider collaboration between researchers based in Latin America and Europe purports to provide a counter-narrative to the prevalent argument that human rights are failing because they are inadequate in countering inequality"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAffirmative action programs$xLaw and legislation 606 $aAffirmative action programs$xGovernment policy 606 $aDiscrimination$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aAffirmative action programs$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aAffirmative action programs$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aDiscrimination$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a342.087 702 $aHoward$b Erica 702 $aDomi?nguez Redondo$b Elvira 702 $aBaez$b Narciso Leandro Xavier 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794275903321 996 $aAffirmative action and the law$93748596 997 $aUNINA
