Human Rights in the Global Political Economy: Critical Processes - Softcover

Tony Evans critically investigates the theory and practice of human rights in the current global order. Evans covers a range of contentious debates as he considers critiques of the prevailing conceptions of human rights. He then explores the changing global context of human rights issues, the nature and status of human rights within that context, and recent institutional responses. With its emphasis on policy and process, his book offers a rich analysis of the politics of today s human rights regime.

Tony Evans is professor of global politics at the University of Southampton. His publications include The Politics of Human Rights and Human Rights Fifty Years On.
