Description
Human rights and humanitarian diplomacy provides an up to date and accessible overview of the field, and serves as a practical guide to those seeking to engage in human rights work. Pease argues that while human rights are internationally recognised, important disagreements exist on definition, priority and implementation. With the help of human rights diplomacy, these differences can be bridged, and a new generation of human rights professionals will build better relationships. -- .
Reviews / Votes
'Pease has authored a cogent and timely book on the 'clumsy and cumbersome' conduct of human rights and humanitarian diplomacy that is accessible and digestible. This is an important text for students and practitioners of diplomacy in all of its various forms.'Andrea Charron, Deputy-Director of the Centre for Defence and Security Studies, University of Manitoba, Canada
'While many textbooks on human rights tend to focus on legal process and the foreign policies of states, Pease's important book examines the diplomatic processes that states, state-based actors, and global civil society actors undertake as they attempt to promote and protect human rights, and further develop and define international human rights standards. The book is able to both survey the topic of international human rights in a comprehensive way, while providing new and important insights about how different players interact to develop and implement human rights.'
Eric A. Heinze, Associate Professor of Political Science, The University of Oklahoma, USA
'In spite of the rhetoric, human rights and humanitarianism are not yet on the side of the angels. Kelly-Kate Pease spells out with passion yet precision why controversy will continue to surround negotiations, but she also indicates how to make a difference in the next decade.'
Thomas G. Weiss, Presidential Professor of Political Science, The Graduate Center, CUNY, USA -- .
