Description

Product Description This book presents a political understanding of socio-economic rights by contextualising constitution-makers' and judges' decision-making in terms of Ireland's rich history of people's struggles for justice 'from below' between 1848 and the present. Its theoretical framework incorporates critical legal studies and world-systems analysis. It performs a critical discourse analysis of constitution-making processes in 1922 and 1937 as well as subsequent property, trade union, family and welfare rights case law. It traces the marginalisation of socio-economic rights in Ireland from specific, local and institutional factors to the contested balance of core-peripheral and social relations in the world-system. The book demonstrates the endurance of ideological understandings of state constitutionalism as inherently neutral between interests. Unemployed marches, housing protestors and striking workers, however, provided important challenges and oppositional discourses. Recognising these enduring forms of power and ideology is vital if we are to assess critically the possibilities and limits of contesting socio-economic rights today. Book Description A comparative analysis 'from below' of attempts to constitutionalise socio-economic rights in Ireland from 1848 rebellions to present day protests. About the Author Dr Thomas Murray is Lecturer in Equality Studies at the School of Social Policy, Social Work and Social Justice, University College Dublin. His research focuses on law and society 'from below', with specific interests in economic and social rights, Irish and comparative constitutions, and world-systems analysis. Dr Murray obtained his PhD from the School of Politics and International Relations, University College Dublin, where the Irish Research Council helped fund his work. He subsequently conducted postdoctoral research at the Institute for Social Sciences and Humanities, Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla in Mexico, during which time he attended the Zapatista Autonomous Rebel Centre of Mayan Languages, Tzotzil and Spanish (CELMRAZ) in Oventic, Chiapas. He has presented his research to the European Consortium of Political Research, the Left Forum, Historical Materialism, the Political Studies Association of Ireland, the Irish Jurisprudence Society, and the Irish Centre for the Histories of Labour and Class. He has published in Social and Legal Studies, Irish Political Studies and the Journal of World-Systems Research. This is his first book.
