Providing universal access to social protection and health systems for all members of society, including the poor and vulnerable, is increasingly considered crucial to international development debates. This is the first book to explore from an interdisciplinary and global perspective the reforms of social protection systems introduced in recent years by many governments of low and middle-income countries. Although a growing body of literature has been concerned with the design and impact of social protection, less attention has been directed towards analyzing and explaining these reform processes themselves. Through case studies of African, Asian, and Latin American countries, this book examines the ‘global phenomenon’ of recent social protection reforms in low and middle-income areas, and how it differs across countries both in terms of scope and speed of institutional change. Exploring the major domestic and international factors affecting the political feasibility of social protection reform, the book outlines the successes and failures of recent reform initiatives.This invaluable book combines contributions from both academics and practitioner experts to give students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of social security, economics, law and political science an in-depth understanding of political reform processes in developing countries.

This innovative book provides a multidisciplinary institutional approach to social protection, combining insights from economics, law, philosophy, political science, and sociology. It examines the role of institutions in the effective functioning of social protection systems and explores the factors driving or hindering institutional change.Expert authors investigate the rationales that underpin social protection, emphasising institutional design and the need to address the transformation of social protection systems in low- and middle-income countries. They assess the role of social protection in tackling poverty and social exclusion in these nations, as well as the challenges of operational barriers and limited coverage. Chapters blend conceptual insights with empirical applications to highlight the complementary nature of diverse institutional research. Ultimately, the book addresses the ethical considerations and international legal standards of social protection and concludes that a renewed framework is required to improve human rights globally.Presenting a holistic understanding of the field, Global Social Protection is a vital read for scholars and students of comparative social policy, sociology of development, and development studies. It will also benefit policymakers and practitioners engaged in social protection and development cooperation.

This open access book analyses the interplay of sustainable development and human rights from different perspectives including fight against poverty, health, gender equality, working conditions, climate change and the role of private actors. Each aspect is addressed from a more human rights-focused angle and a development-policy angle. This allows comparisons between the different approaches but also seeks to close gaps which would remain if only one perspective would be at the center of the discussions.Specifically, the book shows the strong connections between human rights and the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. Already the preamble of this document explicitly states that “the 17 Sustainable Development Goals ... seek to realise the human rights of all”. Moreover, several goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda correspond to already existing individual human rights obligations. The contributions of this volume therefore also address how the implementation of human rights and SDGs can reinforce each other, but also point to critical shortcomings of the different approaches.

This book addresses practitioners in development cooperation as well as scientists and students who are interested in the interaction of human rights and development issues. In the practice of development cooperation, linking poverty reduction programs with human rights is mainly achieved using so-called “Rights-based Approaches to Development.” In this context the right to an adequate standard of living (including access to food, water and housing), the right to health and the right to social security are of particular importance – human rights that will play a key role in the design of the Post-2015 Development Agenda, which is currently being negotiated as a framework to succeed the Millennium Development Goals. The book provides an overview of the main international legal standards that are relevant for the protection of social rights, while also analyzing the content of those rights. Moreover, it informs readers on the current debates surrounding the extraterritorial obligations of donor countries and the duties of transnational corporations and international organizations (e.g. the World Bank and WTO) with regard to the implementation of social rights in the Global South.

Vor dem Hintergrund zunehmenden Wettbewerbsdrucks und steigenden Kundenanforderungen bieten Unternehmen auf Industriegütermärkten zunehmend Sach- und Dienstleistungen in integrierter Form als Hybride Leistungsbündel an. Eine erfolgreiche Vermarktung erfordert jedoch die genaue Kenntnis des Preises, den ein Kunde maximal für die Leistung zu zahlen bereit ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund entwickelt Markus Karger auf Basis der Kapitalwertmethode und der Entscheidungsanalyse eine neue Methode zur Zahlungsbereitschaftsmessung, welche den besonderen Eigenschaften solcher Angebote Rechnung trägt. Die Validität dieser Methode wird anhand einer zweistufigen empirischen Analyse geprüft.
