Series: Civil Society and Social Change

Despite increasing legal recognition of animal rights, policy making remains inconsistent, and civil society's role in shaping governance is underexplored. Applying extensive research and interviews with key animal welfare organisations, this book examines the challenges, progress and future prospects of civil society activism.
