The relationship between the processes of economic development and
international human rights standards has been one of parallel and
rarely intersecting tracks of international action. In the last
decade of the 20th century, development thinking shifted from a
growth-oriented model to the concept of human development as a
process of enhancing human capabilities. The intrinsic links
between development and human rights began to be more readily
acknowledged. Specifically, it has been proposed that if strategies
of development and policies to implement human rights are united,
they reinforce one another in processes of synergy and improvement
of the human condition. Such is the premise of the Declaration on
the Right to Development, adopted by the UN General Assembly in
1986. This book explores the meaning and practical implications of
the right to development and the related term of human rights-based
approaches to development. It asks what these conceptions may add
to our understanding and thinking about human and global
development. Opening with an essay by Amartya Sen - Nobel Laureate
in Economic Science - the book contains a score of chapters on the
conceptual underpinnings of development as a human right, the
national dimensions of this right, and the role of international
institutions. This second edition also includes a new Foreword by
Navanethem Pillay, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. The
contributors reflect the disciplines of philosophy, economics,
international law, and international relations.
