Human rights is an important issue in contemporary politics, and
the last few decades have also seen a remarkable increase in
research and teaching on the subject. This book introduces students
to the study of human rights and aims to build on their interest
while simultaneously offering an alternative vision of the subject.
Many texts focus on the theoretical and legal issues surrounding
human rights. This book adopts a substantially different approach
which uses empirical data derived from research on human rights by
political scientists to illustrate the occurrence of different
types of human rights violations across the world. The authors
devote attention to rights as well as to responsibilities, neither
of which stops at one country's political borders. They also
explore how to deal with repression and the aftermath of human
rights violations, making students aware of the prospects for and
realities of progress.
