This volume explores the relationship between human rights and
democracy within both the theoretical and empirical field. It is a
book within the tradition of deliberative democracy, although it
focuses on global institutions and human rights rather than
nation-state or federalist democracy. Eva Erman problematizes the
absence of political rights in the global human rights discourse
from a deliberative standpoint. Starting out from and at the same
time criticizing Habermas' discourse theory of law and democracy,
she makes a significant contribution to a discourse theory of human
rights and applies it to a global rights institution, the United
Nations' Commission on Human Rights. This is an innovative study
that offers tools for democratizing existing global political
institutions, and is therefore suitable for philosophers, political
theorists, scholars of human rights and those interested in
democracy.
