Right to Adequate Housing

(Farha, 2014). Despite this constraint, this edited collection is essential reading for those with an interest in housing rights in the post-2008 crisis context, or a diagnosis of the failures which led to it. Despite professing to ‘focus somewhat’ (p. 2) on the Irish and Spanish contexts, the book will be of interest to international readers given its clear articulation of the inevitably global regulatory problems leading to the financial crisis, and the clear emphasis throughout on ensuring the arguments are set within a comparative international context. The collection assists in outlining some perspectives on what a ‘new paradigm’ (p. 2) could look like, and consequently helps to open up this debate for future contributions.
