Taylor & Francis Ltd Housing Land and Property Rights
This book explores various contemporary aspects of the growing field of housing, land and property (HLP) rights. HLP rights have undergone a major transformation in recent decades, but much remains to be done to bring their promise to the billions of people who have yet to access them. This work presents several innovative ways by which the entire field of HLP rights can be strengthened in support of those to whom they are promised by human rights laws. It outlines the author's suggestions for creating a new World Restitution Agency, expanding our understanding of the term internationally wrongful act' to HLP crimes, the links between mine action and HLP rights in post-conflict societies and the need to include HLP issues in peace agreements. The book concludes with several chapters that outline suggestions for better addressing climate displacement, including the need for national climate land banks, the role of the courts and how to redistribute global wealth towards rehousing the

Taylor & Francis Ltd Childism Intersectionality and the Rights of the Child
Book SynopsisThis book is the first to comprehensively develop the concept of childism to understand, study, and analyze age-based discrimination against children.It presents a critical theory to help comprehend intersecting prejudice against children and to examine the weak implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and in what ways violations against children can be analyzed through the intersections of racist, sexist, and ableist discrimination. The book further offers scholars a new perspective when studying structural forms of discrimination and oppression against children and provides professionals with a new vocabulary on prejudice targeting children when assessing theory, policy, and praxis on child-friendly' and child-centered' initiatives that overlook the need to protect children against discrimination.This book will be of key interest to scholars, students, and practitioners of human rights, child and youth studies, education, prejudice studies

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Radical Philosophy of Rights
Book SynopsisAfter 1989 human rights have expanded into a vernacular touching every aspect of social life. They are seen as the key concept in morals and politics and a main tool for forging individual and collective identities. They are the ideology after the end of ideologies' the only values left after the end of history'. The response of the left to the rights revolution has been muted and unsure. Classical Marxist critiques of (natural) rights have made the left justly suspicious, and this is still the case today. Elaborating and addressing a series of foundational paradoxes of rights, this book the third in Costas Douzinas's human rights trilogy, following The End of Human Rights and Human Rights and Empire provides a long-overdue re-evaluation of the history and political uses of rights for the left.The book examines the history and philosophy of the (legal) person, the subject, the human and dignity from classical Rome to postmodern Brussels.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Socially Engaged Art in Contemporary China
Book SynopsisThis book provides an in-depth and thematic analysis of socially engaged art in Mainland China, exploring its critical responses to and creative interventions in Chinaâs top-down, pro-urban, and profit-oriented socioeconomic transformations. It focuses on the socially conscious practices of eight art professionals who assume the role of artist, critic, curator, educator, cultural entrepreneur, and social activist, among others, as they strive to expose the injustice and inequality many Chinese people have suffered, raise public awareness of pressing social and environmental problems, and invent new ways and infrastructures to support various underprivileged social groups.Trade Review"This significant monograph sketches a vivid portrait of the developing ecosystem of socially engaged art in contemporary China, as well as of the efforts and struggles of the artists and stakeholders involved. ...Wang convincingly argues that art provides a privileged view into these political and aesthetic complexities. Her work provides a valuable opening into a new domain of research on Chinese contemporary art."--CAA Reviews"Meiqin Wang’s monograph is an important publication that sheds light on cultural activism in China and its transformative character, which advances new bottom-up initiatives and creates alternative sites of knowledge production. Overall, this significant publication presents one of the first scholarly treatments of this topic and fills a gap in existing literature on socially engaged art criticism, thus providing a valuable contribution to the field of contemporary Chinese art."--Yishu, Journal of Contemporary Chinese ArtTable of ContentsIntroduction: Voices from Below: the Potential of Art Activism Part I: Social Criticism through Art 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Childrens Rights and the Law
Book SynopsisThis book identifies the definition of a child within the law, the rights of children, and discusses the extent to which primarily English law gives adequate recognition to and protection of these rights. To what extent does English law gives adequate recognition to and protection of the rights of children? Historically the idea of and protection of rights has focused on parental rights rather than the rights of the child. The rights of children have remained far less recognised and certain until recently. Using case studies from the United Kingdom and beyond, this book takes a thematic approach to children's rights and considers topics including: underlying concepts such as the welfare of the child and safeguarding, the right to education and to medical treatment, the right to freedom from abuse and/or sexual and commercial exploitation, including contemporary challenges from forced marriage, FGM, modern slavery and trafficking, the role of the State in relation to chTable of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction And Legal FrameworkChapter 2 Basic Principles, Status And IdentityChapter 3 Children And MedicineChapter 4 Children And EducationChapter 5 Freedom From AbuseChapter 6 Child ProtectionChapter 7 Criminal JusticeChapter 8 Finance, Contract, Employment Appendix A When Can A Child?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Refugees in Extended Exile Living on the Edge
Book SynopsisThis book argues that the international refugee regime and its âtemporaryâ humanitarian interventions have failed. Most refugees across the global live in âprotractedâ conditions that extend from years to decades, without legal status that allows them to work and establish a home. It is contended that they become largely invisible to people based in the global North, and cease to remain fully human subjects with access to their political lives. Shifting the conversation away from the salient discourse of âsolutionsâ and technical fixes within state-centric international relations, the authors recover the subjectivity lost for those stuck in extended exile. The book first argues that humanitarian assistance to refugees remains vital to peopleâs survival, even after the emergency phase is over. It then connects asylum politics in the global North with the intransigence of extended exile in the global South. By placing the urgent crises of protracted exile within a broader constellation of power relations, both historical and geographical, the authors present research and empirical findings gleaned from refugees in Iran, Kenya and Canada and from humanitarian and government workers. Each chapter reveals patterns of power circulating through the âcolonial presentâ, Cold War legacies, and the global âwar on terror. Seeking to render legible the more quotidian struggles and livelihoods of people who find themselves defined as refugees, this book will be of great interest to international humanitarian agencies, as well as migration and refugee researchers, including scholars in refugee studies and human displacement, human security, globalization, immigration, and human rights. Trade Review'The plight of refugees has attracted unusual political attention since the accelerated flow into Europe of people fleeing acute threats in the Middle East. But this focus ignores the larger, endemic failure to address global refugee needs that are of long standing, a critical element of the "crisis". Extended Exile is the corrective to the myopic current focus. It addresses critical issues about the current refugee situation with scholarly acumen and empirical depth. The book uses the academic literature to probe the paradox of solutions that perpetuate failure, and protection that denudes very large groups of people of rights. For advocates interested in the practical challenges of enhancing the rights of communities trapped for generations in camps like Dadaab and Kakuma, this book provides a masterful exploration of the policy and conceptual context. For scholars engaged with explorations of the role of mobility in the contemporary global sphere, this book provides compelling evidence of the considerable challenges ahead. This book is an invaluable source of information and ideas for anyone concerned with refugee and migration issues'. - Jacqueline Bhabha, Harvard University, USA'Refugees in Extended Exile is a classic: bold and convincing, it makes visible the invisible refugees living in long-term displacement in camps in the global south. Hyndman and Giles, ask pertinent and probing questions about the plight and future of the refugees living on the edge of everyday politics and decisions: how did the millions of refugees in the global south end up living for many years in exile, become marginalised, invisible, and without any permanent legal status? How do they survive and surmount the struggles of everyday life in the spaces of the camp for such long indefinite futures? How come that only less than 1 percent of refugees worldwide are allowed to leave the camps in the global south and resettle in the richer and developed countries of the global north? How can existing legal, political, and institutional frameworks be re-imagined in ways that allow engendering different futures, politics, and policies that embrace refugees as fellow human beings? These and other questions make Refugees in Extended Exile urgent, absorbing, and indispensable reading for anyone who wishes to understand how refugees end up in camps for years if not decades without any permanent solution to their plight and wants to see action taken to end this inhuman and degrading treatment meted out on fellow human beings.' - Zachary Lomo, St Augustine International University, UgandaTable of ContentsPreface AcknowledgementsChapter 1 Introduction: Invisible lives and silent disasters Chapter 2 Securitization versus Protection in a Refugee Camp Chapter 3 Contextualizing Indefinite Exile Chapter 4 States of Emergency?
