Description

This book addresses a topic that is currently high on the agenda in many fora: how to specify and secure a social minimum. The term ‘social minimum’ has different meanings, depending on the context. These contexts are examined in this book from different perspectives, including law, sociology, philosophy, politics and economics. In the first part, the social minimum is discussed from a conceptual and theoretical point of view. The second part shows the various ways in which the social minimum can be specified and measured. There is a need for new indicators that take into account, for instance, aspects of adequate social participation. As this part shows, the choice of indicators is closely intertwined with political choices.The third part approaches the social minimum from the perspective of legal obligations, addressing the nature of different obligations imposed on individuals and states. The fourth part deals with the question of social minimum in the context of courts, adjudication and justiciability. The role of international treaties and national constitutions – the interpretation of the rights they enshrine and the way these are dealt with by expert committees and courts – is discussed with a view to understanding how the guarantee of a social minimum can be promoted within individual countries. Besides being of interest for academics in fields ranging from legal theory and human rights to the social sciences, the book also serves as an important source for students as well as practitioners interested in the social minimum, and anyone who wants to gain an insight into the current debates on this extremely important issue. Review The range of perspectives in the book is what readers will find appealing; persons who are interested in the social minimum will have an interesting read … a number of intriguing ideas are proposed and discussed, which will hopefully spark inspiration for further research. --European Journal of Social Security Eddie Bambrough, University of Groningen About the Author Toomas Kotkas is Professor of Jurisprudence and Social Law at the University of Eastern Finland.Ingrid Leijten is Assistant Professor at Department of Constitutional and Administrative Law at Leiden University.Frans Pennings is Professor of Labour and Social Security Law at Utrecht University.
