About this book

Rethinking Human Rights brings together a team of authors from fields as diverse as political theory, peace studies, international law and media studies - concerned with a new international agenda of human rights promotion. The collection presents an original and tightly argued critique of current trends and deals with a range of questions concerning the implication of human rights approaches for humanitarian aid, state sovereignty, international law, democracy and political autonomy.

Reviews

'[U]ncomfortable but compelling reading...an excellent critique of what has become an uncontested truism of contemporary international relations.' - International Affairs

'An important addition to the debate over contemporary human rights programs...' - Conscience
