Adam Podgórecki makes a similar point about the insights to be gained from the experience of “crippled rights” in “Human Rights Revolution,” in A Sociological Theory of Law (Milan: A. Giuffre 1991), pp. 102–103. I have followed him on this point in a number of places, e.g., “Virtuous Circles. Antipodean Reflections on Power, Institutions and Civil Society”, East European Politics and Societies (11.1) (Winter 1997), p. 80.
