Recenzii

"The Uses and Misuses of Human Rights contributes invaluably to a more critical and complex understanding of human rights advocacy. In a world of violence, we are used to being critical of human rights abusers, but rarely do we question the advocates themselves or their strategies. This project's focus on the uses, abuses, and misuses of human rights (including the complexities of 'framing') is long overdue, especially given its nuanced analysis and policy implications. Through a series of fascinating cases, the authors offer a non-apologetic, balanced look at the achievements and challenges of human rights advocacy in today's world." - Sonia Cardenas, Trinity College, USA
'In this ground-breaking volume, Andreopoulos and Arat have gathered an impressive group of scholars to consider issues of human rights and social justice across a wide spectrum of concerns. What gives this collection of outstanding essays its stamp of originality is the illuminating editorial insistence that each author think critically about the benefits and limitations of human rights advocacy in a range of substantive contexts. This is a major scholarly advance, which also provides a challenging text for teaching human rights in a manner that invites critical scrutiny.' - Richard A. Falk, Albert G. Milbank Professor of International Law and Practice Emeritus at Princeton University, USA, and currently Research Professor and Fellow at the University of California at Santa Barbara, USA
