People all over the world – from Amazonian villages to Iranian prisons – need human rights to gain recognition, campaign for justice, and save lives. But how can we secure a brighter future for human rights? What changes are required to confront the regime’s weaknesses and emerging global challenges?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this cutting-edge analysis, Alison Brysk sets out a pragmatic reformist agenda for human rights in the twenty-first century. Tracing problems and solutions through contemporary case studies – the plight of refugees, declining democracies such as Mexico and Turkey, the expansion of women’s rights, new norms for indigenous peoples, and rights regression in the USA – she shows that the dynamic strength of human rights lies in their evolving political practice. This distinctive vision demands that we build upon the gains of the human rights regime to construct new pathways which address historic rights gaps, from citizenship to security, from environmental protection to resurgent nationalism, and to globalization itself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on the author’s extensive experience as a leading human rights scholar and activist, \u003ci\u003eThe Future of\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eHuman Rights\u003c\/i\u003e offers a broad and authoritative guide to the big questions in global human rights governance today.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; font-size: 11px\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 1: Now More Than Ever\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 2: Unfinished Business: Mind the Gaps\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 3: Expanding Rights: Bridges and Paths\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 4: Contracting Rights: Regression and Resistance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 5: Reconstructing Rights in a Post-Liberal World\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441788121368,"sku":"9781509520572","price":38.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509520572.jpg?v=1785025280","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-future-of-human-rights-hardback-9781509520572","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
