Human Rights, Culture, and the Rule of Law
ISBN: 9781841135069 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This new book examines the relationship between culture and respect for human rights. It departs from the oft-made assumption that culture is closely linked to ideas about community. Instead, it reveals culture as a quality possessed by the individual with a serious impact on his/her ability to enjoy the rights and freedoms as recognized in international human rights law in meaningful and effective ways. This understanding redirects attention towards a range of issues that have long been marginalized, but which warrant a central place in human rights research and on the international human...

Human Rights and Private Law: Privacy as Autonomy
ISBN: 9781841137148 / Angielski / Twarda / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Privacy today is much debated as an individual's right against real or feared intrusions by the state as exemplified by proposed identity cards and surveillance measures in the United Kingdom. In contrast, invasions of privacy by private individuals or bodies tend to arouse less concern. This book fills the gap by looking at the horizontal application of human rights after Douglas v. Hello, Campbell v. MGN, and Caroline von Hannover v. Germany. It provides a conceptual and theoretical framework and also considers specific particularly-sensitive areas of law relating to privacy protection,...

Genocide in the Age of the Nation State: The Rise of the West and the Coming of Genocide
ISBN: 9781845110574 / Angielski / Twarda / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most books on genocide consider it primarily as a twentieth century phenomenon. In The Rise of the West and the Coming of Genocide, Mark Levene argues that this approach fails to grasp its true origins. Genocide developed out of modernity and the striving for the nation-state, both essentially Western experiences. It was European expansion into all hemispheres between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries that provided the main stimulus to its pre-1914 manifestations.One critical outcome, on the cusp of modernity, was the French revolutionary destruction of the Vendee. Levene finishes...

Human Rights, Regionalism and the Dilemmas of Democracy in Africa
ISBN: 9782869781924 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It has often been argued that the concept of human rights is an artefact of modern Western civilisation, that human rights in the South are privileges conferred. These approaches have taken little cognisance of the place accorded to the societal rights held in such esteem as complementary to individual rights in traditional African society. In contrast, this study argues that human rights in Africa are as much about the dignity of Africans as about the commitments of others towards them. It argues for a critical defence of universal human rights within a multicultural framework. From...
