In recent years human rights have assumed a central position in the
discourse surrounding international development, while human rights
agencies have begun to more systematically address economic and
social rights. This edited volume brings together distinguished
scholars to explore the merging of human rights and development
agendas at local, national and international levels. They examine
how this merging affects organisational change, operational change
and the role of relevant actors in bringing about change. With a
focus on practice and policy rather than pure theory, the volume
also addresses broader questions such as what human rights and
development can learn from one another, and whether the connections
between the two fields are increasing or declining. The book is
structured in three sections: Part I looks at approaches that
combine human rights and development, including chapters on drivers
of change; indicators; donor; and legal empowerment of the poor.
Part II focuses on organisational contexts and includes chapters on
the UN at the country level; EU development cooperation; PLAN's
children's rights-based approach; and ActionAid's human
rights-based approach. Part III examines country contexts,
including chapters on the ILO in various settings; the Congo;
Ethiopia; and South Africa. Human Rights and Development in the new
Millennium: Towards a Theory of Change will be of strong interest
to students and scholars of human rights, development studies,
political science and economics.
