Global Rights?

View through CrossRef

Abstract Global governance has become a prevalent way to signify complex modes of socio-economic and political orderings that have dynamically taken shape beyond the state. What is the place and role of human rights law within these orderings? The present volume moves beyond merely apologetic and sceptical views of human rights in global governance, by showing that the answer to this question is inevitably varied and nuanced. It does so through a set of in-depth studies of several global governance regimes based on diverse theoretical and methodological approaches, including historiography, institutionalism, actor–network theory, political economy, and doctrinal analysis. The volume thus serves as a contemporary reflection and set of arguments on how to study and productively think about human rights in complex governance settings that conveys a refreshing contribution to human rights theory, the law of global governance, and transnational legal studies.
