The theoretical sophistication and the breadth of issues covered - and covered so well - will make this book essential, marking a coming of age of the study of human rights. - Lisa Hajjar, Professor of Sociology, UC Santa Barbara, USA. Written by someone who has taught and researched the topic for a long time, this is a passionate, theoretically informed, readable contribution which will undoubtedly make a significant impact. - Damien Short, Director of the Human Rights Consortium and Reader in Human Rights, School of Advanced Study, University of London, UK.
