But the United States Supreme Court is no longer the only one changing the landscape of public rights and values. Over the past thirty years, the European Court of Human Rights has developed an ambitious, American-style body of law. Unheralded by the mass press, this obscure tribunal in Strasbourg, France has become, in many ways, the Supreme Court of Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Goldhaber introduces American audiences to the judicial arm of the Council of Europe--a group distinct from the European Union, and much larger--whose mission is centered on interpreting the European Convention on Human Rights. The Council routinely confronts nations over their most culturally-sensitive, hot-button issues. It has stared down France on the issue of Muslim immigration; Ireland on abortion; Greece on Greek Orthodoxy; Turkey on Kurdish separatism; Austria on Nazism; and Britain on gay rights and corporal punishment. And what is most extraordinary is that nations commonly comply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the battle for the world's conscience, Goldhaber shows how the court in Strasbourg may be pulling ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Goldhaber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813544610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813544618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Michael Goldhaber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45331682787583,"sku":"9780813544618","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f3862c6-d58f-4122-a8d3-8b00c5136300.jpg?v=1713970611","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-peoples-history-of-the-michael-goldhaber-9780813544618","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
