Routledge Political Economy of Human Rights Book - 146

Explore a new perspective on global justice with Political Economy of Human Rights. Published by Routledge as part of the Frontiers of Political Economy series, this text provides the first complete discussion of human rights through the lens of political economy. It moves beyond traditional legal frameworks to examine how international human rights interact with global and local economic-political realities. This book challenges existing UN-led missions and national strategies by treating human rights as political tools rather than just legal resources. It focuses on more than just protecting existing freedoms; it looks at how to transform disabling environments. By analyzing the allocation of human resources and the economic structures that shape rights, this work offers a necessary shake-up for students, researchers, and professionals in the social sciences. It is an essential resource for understanding the real-world application of rights in a complex global economy.
