Human Rights is an introductory text that is both innovative and
challenging. Its unique interdisciplinary approach invites students
to think imaginatively and rigorously about one of the most
important and influential political concepts of our time. Tracing
the history of the concept, the book shows that there are
fundamental tensions between legal, philosophical and
social-scientific approaches to human rights. This analysis throws
light on some of the most controversial issues in the field: Is the
idea of the universality of human rights consistent with respect
for cultural difference? Are there collective human rights? What
are the underlying causes of human-rights violations? And why do
some countries have much worse human-rights records than others?
The third edition has been substantially revised and updated to
take account of recent developments, including the Arab Spring ,
the civil war in Syria, the refugee crisis, ISIS and international
terrorism, and climate change politics. Widely admired and assigned
for its clarity and comprehensiveness, this book remains a go-to
text for students in the social sciences, as well as students of
human-rights law who want an introduction to the non-legal aspects
of their subject.
