A Research Agenda for Housing
Edited by Markus Moos
Abstract
The right to housing spans law, politics, and philosophy. It operates as a legal standard, and as a rallying point – a site around which claims can be made. Realising the right will not be possible without contesting a number of phenomena – such as the global financialization of housing, privatisation and the profoundly unequal global order, and these set a major agenda for research on the right to housing moving forward. This chapter will consider the right to housing as a legal norm, found in international human rights law (particularly the ICESCR) and national constitutions. It will consider the successes and limitations of the legal right, as well as the important role of social and political movements in seeking to realise it.
