In this edited volume, leading experts of human rights measurement
address the challenges scholarship of human rights face as well as
explore approaches and means to overcoming them. The book seeks to
further answer three specific and related questions. First, what do
existing measures of human rights conditions tell us about the
state of human rights? Are conditions improving or deteriorating?
Second, how might scholars improve their measurement efforts and
observe states' human rights practices given efforts by governments
to hide human rights abuses and to make them essentially
"unobservable"? Finally, what challenges might scholars encounter
in the future as the conceptualization of human rights develops and
changes, and as new methods and technologies (e.g., natural
language processing, machine learning) are introduced into the
study of human rights? This book will be of interest to students
and scholars of human rights politics, power, development, and
governance. The chapters in this book were originally published as
a special issue of Journal of Human Rights.
