The idea of a human rights-based economic recovery after Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has produced a health and economic crisis of unprecedented scope.

This book looks at the dynamic processes that "constitute" the legality of economic and social rights. It argues that processes of interpretation, enforcement and contestation each reveal how economic and social interest…
