Product description

Review

This wide ranging, thoughtful collection provides a state-of-the-art introduction to the key debates on human rights. The chapters are deep yet accessible, and overall convey a strong sense of stakes and implications alongside the principles and institutions. ― Alison Brysk, University of California, Santa Barbara

The main features that set this textbook apart are the breadth of its coverage and its connection to the current human rights literature. No comparable textbook is better designed for students. ―
Chad Clay, University of Georgia
