"Studying Human Rights" 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 explanation 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 it
quantitative and qualitative approach provides useful insights.
This book makes a unique contribution to the extant literature on
human rights and is an invaluable tool for both scholars and
practitioners of this area.
