Routledge Realising Rights: Human Rights Socialisation Regional Organisations

This academic study examines how regional organisations attempt to socialise human rights norms across diverse geopolitical contexts. The book expands existing conceptual frameworks by presenting comparative case studies including the European Union's engagement with Turkey, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' work with Myanmar, and the Organization of American States' relationship with Panama. Rather than treating rights socialisation as a uniform process, this research demonstrates the substantial diversity in how regional bodies approach human rights promotion, offering scholars and policymakers new insights into the mechanisms through which international organisations influence member and partner states on human rights compliance and cultural integration.
