- The first comprehensive human rights textbook for politics students, combining coverage of core approaches with detailed studies of key issues.
- Extensive use of case studies to illustrate key points and emphasize the practical and political dynamics of human rights.
- Carefully edited contributions from international experts, providing students with authoritative and accessible content.
- The contributors include political and social scientists, philosophers, lawyers, and policy experts, reflecting the multi-disciplinary approach that the political study of human rights entails.
Human Rights: Politics and Practice is the first comprehensive textbook for politics students. It offers an unparalleled breadth and depth of coverage, with 20 chapters written by international experts.
Seven chapters introduce the main theoretical issues and challenges in the study of human rights as a political phenomenon, addressing normative foundations, international law, measurement, international relations, comparative politics, sociological and anthropological approaches, and the ideological (mis)use of human rights.
Thirteen thematic chapters then offer detailed analysis and case studies of key issues in the politics and practice of human rights, such as economic globalization, genocide, the
environment, and humanitarian intervention. These chapters allow students to deepen their theoretical understanding while learning about important contemporary developments.
The book is accompanied by an extensive Online Resource Centre, enhancing student learning and providing valuable support for lecturers.
