In academic human rights research, especially legal human rights
research, little attention tends to be devoted to questions of
methodology. One reason for this may be that human rights scholars
often are former human rights activists. Dispensing with
methodological niceties enables them to engage in wishful thinking
and to come up with the conclusions they were hoping to find in the
first place. Furthermore, although much emphasis continues to be
put on the need to carry out human rights research from a
multidisciplinary perspective, the methods to be applied in such
research remain far from clear. Which criteria can be identified to
qualify a piece of human rights research as a methodologically
sound piece of work? Are there aspects and considerations that are
typical for human rights research? What are good practices in human
rights research? This book addresses these questions from the
perspective of different scholarly fields relevant for human rights
research, including international law, criminal law, criminology,
political science, comparative politics, international relations,
anthropology; philosophy, and history. This book is essential
reading for any PhD candidate embarking on a dissertation in the
field of human rights and any human rights scholar wishing to
critically reflect on the quality of her/his own methods of work.
