It blends theoretical, empirical, and normative perspectives, while providing much-needed analysis in light of the perils of populism, authoritarianism, and toxic nationalism as well as the hopes with which people around the world view human rights in the new millennium. Systematically combining theoretical perspectives from across the disciplines with numerous case studies, it demonstrates not only the complexities of the domestic conditions involved, but also the ways in which human dignity can be preserved and promoted during periods of rapid change and uncertainty. Finally, the book addresses the question of how to protect human rights in such a world in which the active promotion of democratic values and enforcement of human rights may not be necessarily aligned with evolving economic and geopolitical interests of many great and diverse powers on the global scene. As such, it is a timely intervention for human rights as a concept as it has been attacked and eroded by the instability in our world today. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of human rights in politics, law, philosophy, sociology, and history and to humanitarian bodies, practitioners and policy makers"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Human rights. 650 0 $a Human rights $x International cooperation. 650 0 $a World politics $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a Human rights $x International cooperation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963301 650 7 $a World politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01181381 650 7 $a Globalisierung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Internationale Politik $2 gnd 650 7 $a Menschenrecht $2 gnd 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 700 1 $a Monshipouri, Mahmood, $d 1952- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Why human rights still matter in contemporary global affairs $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2020. $z 9781003022909 $w (DLC) 2020000166 830 0 $a Routledge studies in human rights. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019014115.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ADFF63CECF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
