Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Hardcover, 270 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Minor external handling wear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- For the past ten years, human rights language has increasingly been employed by Armenian citizens when interacting with state actors in public spaces to protest government wrongdoings and press for change. This book examines the citizens' exercise of their civil and political rights to put up claims regarding their social, economic and other rights through collective action as a platform for their claims-making. Through the research of key human rights actors, this book explores the ways in which universal human rights are debated, practiced, violated and experienced in Armenia. It reveals significant transformations with regard to both perceptions and practices of the notion of 'a rights-bearing citizen' manifest in speech and action, confrontations and interactions in 'The Street'. -- Contents: 1 Introduction [Problem statement; Rationale for research; Research questions; Thesis outline] 2 Contesting human rights [Overview; Human rights: An Aspirational Model; Universal, relative or relatively universal/universally relative?; Committing to comply?; Human rights monitoring; Conclusion] 3 Theoretical considerations [Overview; Defining human rights; Sociology and rights; The quest for rights and legal 'consciousness'; 'Personhood' in human rights theory; Constructing human rights from below; Collective action for human rights; Collective action frames; Conclusion] 4 Methodology [Rationale for qualitative research; Sampling; Access; Data collection; Data analysis; Limitations] 5 Soviet and post-Soviet human rights practices [Introduction; The Soviet Period (Human rights through different Soviet constitutions and leaders; Soviet versus Western/American perceptions of human rights; The rise of dissent and the Helsinki Final Act); Armenia as an independent state (Post-independence hardships; Human rights under Presidents Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan; Domestic and international human rights framework; Formal and informal human rights actors; 2018: A change for the better?); 54 Concluding remarks] 6 Research findings: Roles, perceptions and practices of key human rights actors in Armenia [Introduction; Pros and cons of researching human rights practitioners; Formal non-state actors (Soviet residues and malaise; NGOs, related issues and [mis]perceptions; Conceptual distortions); Informal non-state actors (Activists or active citizens?; Is civil also political?; Electric Yerevan protests; Exercising rights in 'The Street'; Segmentation and exclusivity of activism in Armenia); 2016 Summer protests; 2018 April protests; Concluding remarks] 7 Conclusions; Bibliography. …
