The two first sessions of the seminar (6 & 13 October) concern the terminology, the difficulty of definition(s), debate on the justification, and sources of fundamental social rights.
Why? The justification of social rights
What is the justification of social rights? Are the values of social rights based on solidarity, citizenship, equality, or other moral grounds?

RH Cox, 'The consequences of welfare reform: how conceptions of social rights are changing' [1998] Journal of Social Policy 1
What? Social rights and the question of the legal category
What is a social right? What could be qualified fundamental? To what is it opposed? Can they refer equally validly to labour and welfare rights? How could you explain the diverse terminologies?
