Economic Rights: The Terrain

Shareen Hertel () and Lanse Minkler ()

No 1, Economic Rights Working Papers from University of Connecticut, Human Rights Institute

Abstract: Economic rights are central to the international human rights regime, even if they have received less attention historically (at least in the West). This chapter, and the volume from which it is drawn, investigates the central conceptual, measurement, and policy issues confronting economic rights. While many important aspects remain to be addressed, conceiving problems in terms of economic rights may provide novel, effective ways to reduce world poverty, and to enhance respect for human dignity.
