Research Handbook on Human Rights and Poverty

Second Edition
This thoroughly revised second edition of the Research Handbook on Human Rights and Poverty builds on the significant contribution of the first edition to the understanding of global poverty, addressing new developments in the nexus of human rights, poverty and inequality. Leading experts from various disciplines draw on influential scholarship and practical experience to outline a future research agenda for addressing poverty and inequality.

Authors interrogate the definition of poverty and examine the dynamics of poverty and inequality in relation to matters such as race, gender, age, geography and migration status. Chapters explore the rights to housing, health, work, education, protest and access to justice, highlighting the challenges posed by corruption, climate change and new technologies. This second edition provides new research, expands on previous material and raises probing questions about how the status quo of poverty and human rights is defined and perpetuated.

This Research Handbook is a crucial resource for scholars and students of law and development, comparative law and human rights looking for future research avenues. It is also beneficial for legal practitioners working to address poverty in both the Global North and Global South.
