Mobilising Litigation to Effect Legal, Policy and Social Change

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project will be the first comprehensive study of movement litigation from an Australian perspective. Using an innovative blend of socio-legal methods, the outcomes include an examination of movement litigation actors and their democratic role, a methodological framework for global scholarship on movement litigation and the first international and comparative study of refugee rights movement litigation. These outcomes will generate new knowledge for forced migration studies and have the potential to transform the discipline of law by providing tools for a broader and more contextual approach for the study of jurisprudence. Benefits include lessons for enhancing participatory democracy and promoting progressive social and legal change.
