Full title :Globalization and human rights / ed. by Alison Brysk

Summary

In this volume, a group of scholars addresses questions about globalization and human rights. Is globalization generating both problems and opportunities? Are new problems replacing or intensifying state repression? And how effective are new forms of human rights accountability?

These essays include theoretical analyses by Richard Falk, Jack Donnelly and James Rosenau. Chapters on sex tourism, international markets and communications technology bring fresh perspectives to emerging issues. The authors investigate places such as the Dominican Republic, Nigeria and the Philippines.

The contemporary world is defined by globalization. While global human rights standards and institutions have been established, assaults on human dignity continue. These essays identify the challenges to be faced, and suggest ways to remedy the costs of globalization.
