This multi-disciplinary book addresses the ever-expanding notion of
human rights within the 21st century. By analyzing the global
dynamics of the mobilization of new actors, claims, institutions
and modes of accountability, Brysk and Stohl assess the potential
and limitations of global reforms. Expanding Human Rights gives a
comprehensive overview of current human rights issues and the
outlook for the future. The contributors present evidence of new
methods for enforcing existing rights and new strategies for
further development through in-depth analysis of campaigns and
reforms from Eastern Europe, Japan, India, Africa and the US. These
include rights of indigenous peoples, food and water rights,
violence against women, child mortality and international financial
and corporate responsibility. This book will interest academics and
advanced students in human rights, international affairs, political
science and law. Policy makers and global human rights activists
will find the analyses and insights concerning the expansion of
rights and the often accompanying backlash to be of great use when
approaching their next human rights campaign. Contributors include:
J. Alley, C. Apodaca, P. Ayoub, M. Baer, A. Brysk, S. Hertel, R.
Howard-Hassmann, V. Hudson, F.G. Isa, H. Jo, W. Sandholtz, C.
