Human Rights in the World Community by Richard Claude
Specifically designed for educational use in international relations, law, political science, economics, and philosophy classes, Human Rights in the World Community treats the full range of human rights issues, including key paradoxes and contestations surrounding human rights, implementation problems, and processes involving international, national, and nongovernmental action. This new, expanded edition reflects the global, large-scale change that has occurred in the field of human rights, including the rise of terrorism and the triple threats of climate change, nuclear proliferation, and poverty, and each section features, as in previous editions, provocatively probing discussion questions. For the first time, the book's set of appendices are available online: a bibliography, which encourages further study; an annotated human rights filmography; and the texts of, and citations to, key human rights instruments.

"This is a remarkably rich, diverse, timely, and challenging collection that highlights both the imperative of promoting human rights as well as the challenges and obstacles that their advocates must confrontVery highly recommended." * Philip Alston, New York University *
"What a marvelously exciting book! Professors Weston and Grear have brought together a stellar lineup of scholars to remind us why we used to think human rights mattered so much-and to show how they can be revived to inspire a radical critique of international law and politics, one that is ever more urgent as we head into an increasingly dark future. Bravo!" * Stephen Humphreys, London School of Economics *
"In this welcome fourth edition, Burns Weston and Anna Grear have curated an outstanding collection of essays that offer critical insights both for those who are venturing into the world of human rights for the first time and for those who are its most seasoned advocates." * Barbara A. Frey, University of Minnesota *
"Human rights are not easy. The great strength of this iconic volume lies in its explicit recognition of their multiple dimensions-stretching across philosophy, politics, economics, and the law. Building on the wide-ranging contributions of leading authors in the field, the editors invite readers to reflect critically on the problems as well as possibilities of human rights. Yet another generation of students and teachers has reason to be grateful." * David Kinley, The University of Sydney *
"The Claude-Weston text . . . must be considered the most thought-provoking, comprehensive, and contemporary of the teaching materials now available." * American Journal of International Law *
"Claude and Weston have prepared the definitive textbook on human rights. The book's annotated filmography and thoughtful questions for discussion . . . make it a unique resource for educators." * Eric Stover, University of California at Berkeley *
"A challenging and valuable contribution for all readers interested in expanding their knowledge of the current, and even future, issues in human rights." * International and Comparative Law Quarterly *

Martha Albertson Fineman is Robert W. Woodruff Professor of Law at Emory University. A leading authority on family law and feminist jurisprudence, Fineman is the founding director of the Feminism and Legal Theory Project, an interdisciplinary scholarly project she began at the University of Wisconsin in 1984. Since 2007, she also directs Emory's Vulnerability and the Human Condition Initiative, an interdisciplinary project housed in the Laney Graduate School. Her scholarly work focuses on various aspects of the legal regulation of intimacy and on the social, cultural, and legal implications of human dependency and vulnerability and includes The Neutered Mother, The Sexual Family and Other Twentieth Century Tragedies (1995) and The Autonomy Myth: A Theory of Dependency (2004). Anna Grear is Reader in Law at Cardiff Law School and Adjunct Associate Professor of Law at the University of Waikato, New Zealand. She is a Global Affiliate of the Vulnerability and Human Condition Initiative at Emory University in the USA. Anna's work focuses upon the law's construction of the human and of the human relationship with the world, broadly understood, with a particular emphasis upon the environment and globalisation. Anna's scholarship is best known for its critical deconstruction of corporate human rights claims and related explorations of legal rights subjectivity. Her 2010 monograph, Redirecting Human Rights: Facing the Challenge of Corporate Legal Humanity has been welcomed as constituting 'a new ground of contestation' and marking a fresh start 'towards understanding the ontology of human rights'. Anna is also Director of the Global Network for the Study of Human Rights and the Environment and founder and Co-editor in Chief of the Journal of Human Rights and the Environment.
