Civil Society Activism and Animal Welfare Rights - Paul Chaney, Sarbeswar Sahoo

Popis produktu

Despite increasing legal recognition of animal rights, policy making remains inconsistent, and civil society’s role in shaping governance is underexplored. Civil Society Activism and Animal Welfare Rights offers new empirical and theoretical insights into how advocacy groups influence animal welfare policy in the UK and India. Applying extensive research and interviews with key animal welfare organisations, this book examines the challenges, progress and future prospects of civil society activism. It shows how animal rights and welfare have risen up the political agenda as parties have adapted to increasing public support. This is a timely and in-depth analysis of the evolving landscape of animal rights and governance.
