The Politics of Human Rights: A Global Perspective (Human Security in the Global Economy) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Tony Evans argues that the state’s central role in protecting and promoting rights has been severely weakened under globalization and that as a consequence human rights are becoming less attainable.

As the value of the market grows, the value of individual human rights decreases. The author departs from traditional interpretations of human rights by focusing on the political economy of human rights rather than on the philosophical or legal aspects. He analyses how issues related to globalization, such as the environment, population movement patterns and free trade impact on individual human rights. In conclusion, he argues that the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and other major treaties must be renegotiated to take globalization into account.
