Opis

Critiquing the State-centric and legalistic approach to implementing human rights, this book illustrates the efficacy of relying upon social institutions.

Recenzje

'In Social Institutions and International Human Rights Law Implementation, Dr Fraser brings a rare and insightful mind to the crisis, vitality and hope in the human rights project. This book pulsates with a unique kaleidoscope of high theory, praxis and discourse that lays bare both the torment and redeeming power of human rights. In it, Professor Fraser reaches into the annals of global cultures to weave a story of the liberatory potential of the norms, processes and institutions steeped in the human rights corpus. Most remarkably, she puts forth a broad school of thought that hears the critiques of the Global South and the incompleteness of the human rights text. It's a great work of reference.'
