Human Rights: Theory and Practice is a comprehensive,
interdisciplinary text written by a global team of experts with
coverage and content unrivaled by any other text on the market.
With contributions from an international panel of experts,
including political scientists, lawyers, philosophers, and
policy-makers, this text is unmatched in its ability to provide
students with a practical, comprehensive and 21st century
perspectives on the theory, study and practice of human rights. In
addition to in-depth theoretical content, the book features
unrivaled coverage of human rights issues in practice, with a wide
range of case studies allowing students to explore true-to-life
examples from around the world. There are also dynamic pedagogical
features that encourage critical analysis, challenge students to
question their assumptions, and facilitate class dialogue on key
issues. This text comes to us as a highly-respected and successful
OUP UK title. With high export sales to the US in previous
editions, it is poised to continue its sales growth as an OUP USA
title. The fourth edition will be brought fully up-to-date, with
new readings centered on recent and relevant issues. The proposed
revisions and title change (from "Politics and Practice") will
reposition the text as an interdisciplinary examination of human
rights, rather than strictly political science-centric. This change
will make known to a broader market what current users have noted:
this text is applicable to a range of courses and disciplines, such
as Philosophy and graduate level courses. Section I will be
reorganized to remove the critical chapter, following reviewer
feedback, and to focus more on theory as it relates to different
areas of study (Philosophy, Law, Social Practice, Politics, etc.).
Section II will follow its existing format, focused on practice,
with new and updated readings related to the Black Lives Matter
movement, women's rights, the refugee crises, and genocide, among
others. Supplemental support for instructors includes test bank,
PowerPoint lecture slides, and active learning exercises. Student
resources include LO's, key term flashcards, reading lists, and
links to online resources.
