Human Rights: Perspectives

Human Rights and the debates on the legitimacy of Human Rights are among the most controversial and crucial issues related to contemporary social and political coexistence. This is so because the ethical and socio-political negotiations of sharing power in the most intimate contexts of life are expected to be informed by some of the very significant and critical interventions of the concepts of human dignity, intercultural social dialogues, and Human Rights. Human Rights: Perspectives, aims to carve a space of multiple negotiations with distinct theoretical enactments as it combines various contemporary perspectives on Human Rights. The volume also significantly contributes to the informative needs of both the scholars and the learners of human rights theories and contexts.
