The language of human rights is the most prominent 'people-centred'
language of global justice today. This textbook looks at how human
rights are constructed at local, national, international and
transnational levels and considers commonalities and differences
around the world. Through discussions of key debates in the
interdisciplinary study of human rights, the book develops its
themes by considering examples of human rights advocacy in
international organisations, national states and local grassroots
movements. Case studies relating to specific organisations and
institutions illustrate how human rights are being used to address
structural injustices: imperialist geopolitics, authoritarianism
and corruption, inequalities created by 'freeing' markets, dangers
faced by transnational migrants as a result of the securitization
of borders, and violence against women.
