Rethinking Human Rights: Critical Approaches to International Politics

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.
