This book examines the ideas about rights and their evolution in modern political thought. The essays in the volume present a comprehensive overview on major thinkers and the evolving discourse on rights, interrogate the idea of rights in the postcolonial context and for the twenty-first century, and introduce a Global South perspective in the rights discourse. The volume will be of great interest to scholars, students, and researchers of politics, especially political theory and international law.
