Item description from seller

VIII; 322 S.; 23,5 cm. Gutes Ex.; leider jedoch etwa 10 Seiten mit (gelbem) Textmarker. - Englisch. - Why have human rights been marginalized in the Arab world? How do we gauge the relevance of human rights in the region, given the political, social, and economic context? What are the practical and theoretical obstacles to the implementation of these rights? What is at stake in these debates? Human Rights in the Arab World: Independent Voices offers perspectives from those at the forefront of research and debate at the intersection of human rights and Islam, globalization, transnational advocacy, and the politics of key states such as Egypt, Morocco, and Yemen. Some chapters provide essential historical background to current political realities, while others offer analytical thinking on ways to confront this region's practical and theoretical challenges to human rights. By placing the questions of human rights in the often-tragic context of Arab politics, the very real stakes are made clear.
