Drawing on a hitherto neglected body of work in classical social theory and combining it with ideas derived from Barrington Moore, Norbert Elias and Michel Foucault, Woodiwiss poses and answers the questions: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow did human rights become entangled with power relations?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow might the nature of this entanglement be altered so that human rights better serve the global majority?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn answering these questions, he explains how and why rights discourse developed in such distinctive ways in four key locations: Britain, the United States, Japan and in the UN. On this basis he provides, for the first time, a general sociological account of the development of international human rights discourse, which represents a striking challenge to current thinking and policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Woodiwiss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415360692\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415360692\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.82h x 5.18w x 0.46d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anthony Woodiwiss","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075823661311,"sku":"9780415360692","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15234368-16e0-4e02-8d89-214979ad3e9f.jpg?v=1685461650","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/human-rights-anthony-woodiwiss-9780415360692","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
