But how do human rights work? What do they do? Drawing on anthropological studies of human rights work from around the world, this book examines human rights in practice. It shows how groups and organizations mobilize human rights language in a variety of local settings, often differently from those imagined by human rights law itself. The case studies reveal the contradictions and ambiguities of human rights approaches to various forms of violence. They show that this openness is not a failure of universal human rights as a coherent legal or ethical framework but an essential element in the development of living and organic ideas of human rights in context. Studying human rights in practice means examining the channels of communication and institutional structures that mediate between global ideas and local situations. Suitable for use on inter-disciplinary courses globally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Goodale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.02w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521683784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGoodale, Mark:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Assistant Professor of Conflict Analysis and Anthropology at George Mason University.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMerry, Sally Engle:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Professor of Anthropology and Law and Society at New York University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40758318268531,"sku":"9.78052E+12","price":83.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_4f7fd6c3-1f09-4bff-9408-6986fb1e7ed4.jpg?v=1678888457","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-practice-of-human-rights-tracking-law-between-the-global-and-the-local-9780521683784","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
