- This book discusses the dynamics of civic-state interactions aimed at the state’s obligations to
promote, protect and fulfil human rights. Through the lens of refugee rights advocacy in
South Africa in the early years of its post-1994 period of democracy, this book examines and
explains the circumstances under which civic-state interactions can lead to structural change,
and what these interactions can teach us about the potential of civic society to realise rights in
general.
