Chapters How Human Rights Cross-Pollinate and Take Root: Local
Governments & Refugees in Turkey by Elif Durmus and Human
Rights Localisation and Individual Agency: From 'Hobby of the Few'
to the Few Behind the Hobby by Tihomir Sabchev, Sara Miellet, and
Elif Durmus are available open access under a Creative Commons
Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com This
book seeks to explore, from a multidisciplinary perspective,
whether human rights are, in fact, a myth or a lived reality. Over
the years much has been said about their effectiveness or, rather,
their ineffectiveness. This perceived ineffectiveness relates not
only to institutional challenges at the international level, but
also to national implementation mechanisms and processes. In
addition, questions have arisen as to whether individuals or groups
of individuals actually benefit from the normative guarantees
contained in human rights law and whether human rights as legal
constructs can be effectively translated into better outcomes. This
volume can be distinguished from the existing literature by virtue
of the fact that it not only brings together scholars at different
stages of their careers, but also that it incorporates
contributions that adopt different methodological perspectives and
cover a variety of topics. The book should prove of great benefit
to human rights researchers, human rights practitioners, NGOs and
students. Claire Boost is a PhD Candidate at the Department of
Criminal Law and Criminology, Maastricht University. Andrea
Broderick is an Assistant Professor at the Department of
International and European Law, Maastricht University. Fons Coomans
is a Professor at the UNESCO Chair in Human Rights and Peace,
Department of International and European Law, Maastricht
University. Roland Moerland is an Assistant Professor at the
Department of Criminal Law and Criminology, Maastricht University.
