Drawing on rich empirical material from Sri Lanka and Nepal, The Prevention of Torture: An Ecological Approach interrogates the worlds that produce torture, in order to propose how to bring about systemic institutional and cultural change. Critics have decried human rights approaches' failure to attend to structural factors, but this book seeks to go beyond a 'stance of criticism' to take up the positive project of reimagining human rights theory and practice. It discusses key debates in human rights and political theory, as well as the challenges that advocates face in translating situational analyses into real world interventions. Danielle Celermajer develops a new, ecological framework for mapping the worlds that produce torture, and thereby develops prevention strategies. 650 0 $a Torture $z Sri Lanka $x Prevention. 650 0 $a Torture $z Nepal $x Prevention. 650 0 $a Human rights $z Sri Lanka. 650 0 $a Human rights $z Nepal. 650 12 $a Torture. $0 (DNLM)D014104 650 12 $a Human Rights Abuses $x prevention & control. $0 (DNLM)D045809Q000517 650 22 $a Human Rights. $0 (DNLM)D006806 650 22 $a Social Environment. $0 (DNLM)D012931 650 22 $a Models, Theoretical. $0 (DNLM)D008962 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a Torture $x Prevention. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01152960 651 2 $a Nepal. $0 (DNLM)D009390 651 2 $a Sri Lanka. $0 (DNLM)D013188 651 7 $a Nepal. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206102 651 7 $a Sri Lanka. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208730 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781108669054 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318012024.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=905C29321E3F11EAA58222FC96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
