This book draws on key theories and methods from the social
sciences to develop a framework for the systematic study of human
rights problems. It argues that solid empirical analysis of human
rights problems rests on examining the observable practices from
state and non-state actors that constitute human rights violations
to provide plausible explanations for their occurrence and provide
deeper understanding of their meaning. Such explanations and
understanding draws on the theoretical insights from rational,
structural and cultural approaches in the social sciences. This
book includes: an outline of the scope of human rights the terrain
of key actors that have an impact on human rights a summary of the
social science theories, methods and measures for studying human
rights a separate treatment of global comparative studies, truth
commissions, and human rights impact assessment. Studying Human
Rights is the first book to use the synthesis of social sciences
approaches to studying human rights and its quantitative and
qualitative approach provides useful insights. This book makes a
unique contribution to the existent literature on human rights and
is an invaluable tool for both scholars and practitioners of this
area.
