Book Synopsis Housing and Politics in Urban India by : Swetha Rao Dhananka
Download or read book Housing and Politics in Urban India written by Swetha Rao Dhananka and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-03 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing adequate housing in an increasingly urbanised world is a major challenge of current times. This book puts together a compelling story based on fine-grained analysis of housing processes, as lived by slum-dwellers and their voice-bearers. It situates the lived experience of claiming adequate housing within informal transactions and negotiations of patronage networks vis-à-vis the formal institutional opportunities and closures of Indian democracy. In doing so, this research extends an innovative array of conceptual and methodological tools to grasp the context in which housing claims succeed and fail. This book contributes by responding to critical areas of social movement scholarship and by displaying community engagements and tactical strategies to bring about transformative change to claim adequate housing and resist co-opting forces for socially sustainable housing futures.

Book Synopsis Rights and the City by : Sandeep Agrawal
Download or read book Rights and the City written by Sandeep Agrawal and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rights and the City takes stock of rights struggles and progress in cities by exploring the tensions that exist between different concepts of rights. Sandeep Agrawal and the volume's contributors expose the paradoxes that planners and municipal governments face when attempting not only to combat discriminatory practices, but also advance a human rights agenda. The authors examine the legal, conceptual, and philosophical aspects of rights, including its various forms—human, Indigenous, housing, property rights, and various other forms of rights. Using empirical evidence and examples, they translate the philosophical and legal aspects of rights into more practical terms and applications. Regionally, the book draws on municipalities from across Canada while also making broad international comparisons. Scholars, policy makers, and activists with an interest in urban studies, planning, and law will find much of value throughout this volume. Contributors: Sandeep Agrawal, Rachelle Alterman, Sasha Best, Alexandra Flynn, Eran S. Kaplinsky, Ola P. Malik, Jennifer A. Orange, Michelle L. Oren, Renée Vaugeois. Afterword by Benjamin Davy
Book Synopsis Charting Limits on Trademark Rights by : Sun
Download or read book Charting Limits on Trademark Rights written by Sun and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-12 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trademark scholarship has focused largely on the protection of trademark rights against consumer confusion and the dilution of trademarks. Studies of limitations on trademark rights, meanwhile, have remained relatively peripheral, especially in jurisdictions outside of the United States. However, this reality is incongruous with the importance of the limitations, such as descriptive and nominative uses, in promoting freedom of commerce, market competition, free speech, and cultural dynamics. Against this backdrop, Charting Limitations on Trademark Rights is the first comprehensive academic volume detailing limitations in trademark rights from both theoretical and comparative perspectives. The book presents new theoretical perspectives to justify trademark rights limitations, re-examines the nature of these limitations, delineates the scope of the limitations, and offers comparative studies of the limitations. With contributions from leading trademark scholars in the EU, US, and Asia, this is a must read for scholars, students, practitioners, and policymakers with an interest in the theories, policies, and doctrines of trademark law.

Book Synopsis The Right to Housing by : Jessie Hohmann
Download or read book The Right to Housing written by Jessie Hohmann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A human right to housing represents the law's most direct and overt protection of housing and home. Unlike other human rights, through which the home incidentally receives protection and attention, the right to housing raises housing itself to the position of primary importance. However, the meaning, content, scope and even existence of a right to housing raise vexed questions. Drawing on insights from disciplines including law, anthropology, political theory, philosophy and geography, this book is both a contribution to the state of knowledge on the right to housing, and an entry into the broader human rights debate. It addresses profound questions on the role of human rights in belonging and citizenship, the formation of identity, the perpetuation of forms of social organisation and, ultimately, of the relationship between the individual and the state. The book addresses the legal, theoretical and conceptual issues, providing a deep analysis of the right to housing within and beyond human rights law. Structured in three parts, the book outlines the right to housing in international law and in key national legal systems; examines the most important concepts of housing: space, privacy and identity and, finally, looks at the potential of the right to alleviate human misery, marginalisation and deprivation. The book represents a major contribution to the scholarship on an under-studied and ill-defined right. In terms of content, it provides a much needed exploration of the right to housing. In approach it offers a new framework for argument within which the right to housing, as well as other under-theorised and contested rights, can be reconsidered, reconnecting human rights with the social conditions of their violation, and hence with the reasons for their existence. Shortlisted for The Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship 2013.

Book Synopsis Indian Polity And Governance : For UPSC Civil Services and State PSC Examinations by : Nitin Shivahare
Download or read book Indian Polity And Governance : For UPSC Civil Services and State PSC Examinations written by Nitin Shivahare and published by S. Chand Publishing. This book was released on with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To say anything about the relevance of Indian Polity & Governance in civil service(s) examination would be like stating the obvious. However, change is the only constant thing in this ephemeral world of ours and so it is with UPSC and the pattern of civil services examination. The present status of GS can be best summed up by quoting Charles Dickens when he wrote that ';it was the best of times, it was the worst of times'. While on one hand, sweeping changes in the pattern of questioning and less than kind marking in all papers including optional has shaken the confidence of the most ardent of its advocates, on the other hand however, the indelible presence of a substantial portion of Indian Polity in all papers has proved it beyond doubt that you can love it or hate it but you can never be indifferent towards it. This edition presents the dynamic aspect of Indian Polity - the living, breathing, ever-changing, ever-challenging democratic environment which is as complex, as elusive and as mind boggling as the realities of India itself. Democracy, one can say, is the arena where the various theories and principles wrestle, grapple and jostle with each other to prove their pertinence and justify their existence! This book has been done in an equally diligent and devoted manner for revealing the complexities while retaining the simplicity of the subject in hand. I hope the present work will prove to be a fascinating, informative and enriching read for both students and casual but curious readers alike.
Book Synopsis Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights in International Law by : Eibe Riedel
Download or read book Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights in International Law written by Eibe Riedel and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen a remarkable expansion in the scale and importance of economic, social, and cultural rights (ESC rights), culminating in the adoption of the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in December 2008. The Protocol gives individuals and groups the ability to bring complaints about rights violations before the UN Committee on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights. Against this background, this book focuses on the question of how fundamental socio-economic human rights enshrined in international law are defined, interpreted, understood, and implemented. It assesses how effective efforts to realize ESC rights have been and investigates the contemporary challenges obstructing their protection. It sets out the impact of the global financial crisis and austerity measures, the human rights responsibilities of corporations, and trends in the justiciability of those rights at the national and international level. The interrelationship between ESC rights and other legal regimes such as trade and investment law, environmental law, international criminal law, and international humanitarian law is also thoroughly examined. After an introduction by the editors the book contains seventeen chapters looking at the main questions which shape the progressive realization of ESC rights and their monitoring mechanisms. The authors of the chapters, both scholars and practitioners, adopt interdisciplinary approaches that move beyond traditional analyses of ESC rights. In doing so, they clarify and illuminate multiple aspects of the law by bringing together the different aspects of ESC rights, restating the challenges they face, and assessing the progress that has been made in expanding their adoption.

Book Synopsis Tenancy Law and Housing Policy in Europe by : Christoph U. Schmid
Download or read book Tenancy Law and Housing Policy in Europe written by Christoph U. Schmid and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-26 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tenancy law has developed in all EU member states for decades, or even centuries, but constitutes a widely blank space in comparative and European law. This book fills an important gap in the literature by considering the diverse and complex panorama of housing policies, markets and their legal regulation across Europe. Expert contributors argue that that while unification is neither politically desired nor opportune, a European recommendation of best practices including draft rules and default contracts implementing a regulatory equilibrium would be a rewarding step forward.
