Chapter 1: Analysing Justice Claims in the Global South -- Chapter 2: Struggles Against the High Cost of Living in Burkina Faso -- Chapter 3-. Demanding Rights in Company-Community Resource Extraction Conflicts: examining the cases of POSCO and Vedanta in Odisha, India -- Chapter 4: Mega Dams and Resistance: The case of the Three Gorges Dam, China -- Chapter 5: 'We are the engine of the enterprise, and yet we are like it's illegitimate children': The Contract Workers' Movement in Chile and its claim for equal labour rights -- Chapter 6: Situating women's rights in everyday life: The EMPOWER Women's Human Rights Report -- Chapter 7: Transnationalising Dissidence: Arab activists in Occupy Oakland -- Chapter 8: Claiming Justice in the Global South.

The politics of claiming rights and strategies of mobilisation exhibited by marginalised social groups lie at the heart of this volume. Theoretically, the authors aims to foster a holistic and multi-faceted understanding of how social and economic justice is claimed, either through formal, corporatist or organised mechanisms, or through ad hoc, informal, or individualised practices, as well as the implications of these distinctive activist strategies. The collection emphasises both the difficulties of political mobilisation and the distinctive methods employed by various social groups across a variety of contexts to respond and overcome these challenges. Crucially, the authors' approach involves a conceptualisation of social movements and local mobilisation in terms of the language of rights and justice claims-making through more organised as well as everyday political practices. In so doing, the book bridges the literature on contentious politics, the politics of claiming social justice, and everyday politics of resistance.
