{"product_id":"the-african-human-rights-system-obiora-chinedu-okafor-9780521869065","title":"The African Human Rights System, Activist Forces and International Institutions","description":"This 2007 book draws from and builds upon many of the more traditional approaches to the study of international human rights institutions (IHIs), especially quasi-constructivism. The author reveals some of the ways in which many such domestic deployments of the African system have been brokered or facilitated by local activist forces, such as human rights NGOs, labour unions, women's groups, independent journalists, dissident politicians, and activist judges. In the end, the book exposes and reflects upon the inherent inability of the dominant compliance-focused model to adequately capture the range of other ways - apart from via state compliance - in which the domestic invocation of IHIs like the African system can contribute - albeit to a modest extent - to the pro-human rights alterations that can sometimes occur in the self-understandings, conceptions of interest or senses of appropriateness held within key domestic institutions within states.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Obiora Chinedu Okafor,Okafor Obiora Chinedu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521869064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521869065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.41w x 0.99d","brand":"Obiora Chinedu Okafor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47422381392127,"sku":"9780521869065","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98ef4ccc-66c2-4b74-a7bf-fea163af766b.jpg?v=1761527674","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-african-human-rights-system-obiora-chinedu-okafor-9780521869065","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
