Institutions--like education, family, medicine, culture, and law--,
are powerful social structures shaping how we live together. As
members of society we daily express our adherence to norms and
values of institutions as we consciously and unconsciously reject
and challenge them. Our everyday experiences with institutions not
only shape our connections with one another, they can reinforce our
binding to the status quo as we struggle to produce social change.
Institutions can help us do human rights. Institutions that bridge
nation-states can offer resources, including norms, to advance
human rights. These institutions can serve as touch stones to
changing minds and confronting human rights violations.
Institutions can also prevent us from doing human rights. We create
institutions, but institutions can be difficult to change.
Institutions can weaken, if not outright prevent, human rights
establishment and implementation. To release human rights from
their institutional bindings, sociologists must solve riddles of
how institutions work and determine social life. This book is a
step forward in identifying means by which we can loosen human
rights from institutional constraints.
