This book elucidates why human rights still matter in contemporary
global affairs, and what can lead to better protection of
international human rights in a post-liberal order. It blends
theoretical, empirical, and normative perspectives, while providing
much-needed analysis in light of the perils of populism,
authoritarianism, and toxic nationalism, as well as highlighting
the hopes with which people around the world view human rights in
the new millennium. Systematically combining theoretical
perspectives from across the disciplines with numerous case
studies, it demonstrates not only the complexities of the domestic
conditions involved, but also the ways in which human dignity can
be preserved and promoted during periods of rapid change and
uncertainty. Finally, the book addresses the question of how to
protect human rights in such a world in which the active promotion
of democratic values and enforcement of human rights may not be
necessarily aligned with evolving economic and geopolitical
interests of many great and diverse powers on the global scene. As
such, it is a timely intervention for human rights as a concept as
it has been attacked and eroded by the instability in our world
today. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students
of human rights in politics, law, philosophy, sociology, and
history and to humanitarian bodies, practitioners, and policy
makers.
