Rights for Others is an empirical study of what happens when
international human rights are applied domestically in The
Netherlands. It tracks recent debates in Dutch society on
citizenship and the rights of immigrants, and analyses the shift
from the perception of human rights as a 'foreign policy concern'
to the slow processes of homecoming in what has traditionally been
a left-wing society, but now includes many more right-wing
political parties. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, Oomen
combines insights from law, sociology and anthropology to explain
how rights gain significance in framing social and political
discussions. The book provides comprehensive coverage on relevant
constitutional law, legal culture and rights realization as well as
discussing case material on human rights education, polarization,
socio-economic rights, domestic violence and the rights of
minorities. This is an invaluable contribution to the global fields
of human rights and socio-legal studies for scholars and
researchers.
