For the first time in one collected volume, mainstream and critical
human rights scholars together examine the empirical and normative
debates around the future of human rights. They ask what makes
human rights effective, what strategies will enhance the chances of
compliance, what blocks progress, and whether the hope for human
rights is entirely misplaced in a rapidly transforming world. Human
Rights Futures sees the world as at a crucial juncture. The project
for globalizing rights will either continue to be embedded or will
fall backward into a maelstrom of nationalist backlash, religious
resurgence and faltering Western power. Each chapter talks directly
to the others in an interactive dialogue, providing a theoretical
and methodological framework for a clear research agenda for the
next decade. Scholars, graduate students and practitioners of
political science, history, sociology, law and development will
find much to both challenge and provoke them in this innovative
book.
