International Attention and the Protection of Human Rights Defenders - Campaigning for Agents of Change (Hardcover): Janika... International Attention and the Protection of Human Rights Defenders - Campaigning for Agents of Change (Hardcover)
Janika Spannagel
R4,069 Discovery Miles 40 690 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book uses a practice-driven and empirically founded approach to address the question of whether and how international attention can protect and enable domestic human rights activists in authoritarian settings. It examines the untold origin story of the ‘human rights defender’ term and its uptake among international advocacy organizations, which coalesced with the rise of a theory of human rights change centered around the support for local actors. Rich with analyses of original qualitative and quantitative data, the author spells out this theory of change and tests its assumptions in two case studies: the individual casework of the UN special procedures, and the case of Tunisia under Ben Ali. This book is of key interest to scholars and students of human rights, of the United Nations, and more broadly of international relations and politics in general, and to practitioners working with human rights defenders at risk.

University Autonomy Decline - Causes, Responses, and Implications for Academic Freedom (Hardcover): Kirsten Roberts Lyer, Ilyas... University Autonomy Decline - Causes, Responses, and Implications for Academic Freedom (Hardcover)
Kirsten Roberts Lyer, Ilyas Saliba, Janika Spannagel
R3,782 Discovery Miles 37 820 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book provides empirically grounded insights into the causes, trajectories, and effects of a severe decline in university autonomy and the relationship to other dimensions of academic freedom by comparing in-depth country studies and evidence from a new global timeseries dataset. Drawing attention to ongoing discussions on standards for monitoring and assessment of academic freedom at regional and international organizations, this book identifies a need for clearer standards on academic freedom and a human rights-based definition of university autonomy. Further, the book calls for accompanying international oversight and the inclusion of criteria related to academic freedom in international university rankings. Five expert-authored case studies on academic freedom from diverse nations (Bangladesh, Mozambique, India, Poland, and Turkey) are included in the volume. Drawing on both qualitative and quantitative evidence, the book offers a unique and timely contribution to the field and will be of great interest to scholars, researchers, and students in the fields of higher education, human rights, political science and public policy.
