The awarded book, published in 2015 by Oxford University Press, presents an innovative framework designed to enhance states’ guarantee of human rights, offering a method for measuring how well nations are meeting their citizens’ basic needs, such as food, health, education, housing, work, and well-being.

In 2016, the book also received the American Political Science Association's Human Rights Section Best Book Award.
