Description

Human Rights by Michael Freeman provides an innovative and challenging introduction to one of the most important political concepts of our time. This fourth edition offers a unique interdisciplinary approach, inviting students to think imaginatively about the concept's history, tensions between legal, philosophical, and social-scientific approaches, and its relevance in contemporary issues. The book explores some of the most contentious topics in human rights, including the causes of violations, cultural difference, and the impact of global events such as colonial legacies, neoliberalism, and conflicts in Syria, Yemen, and Myanmar. Thoroughly revised and updated to engage with recent developments, this edition remains a widely admired text for its clarity and comprehensiveness. Suitable for students in social sciences and those studying human-rights law, Human Rights offers a comprehensive introduction to the non-legal aspects of the subject.
