ISBN: 9004138757 ISBN-13: 9789004138759 Publisher: Brill Nijhoff OUR PRICE: $121.60 Product Type: Paperback Published: November 2004 Annotation: The current edition of Human Rights in Development is the fourteenth in the series. Over the years the structure of the yearbook has shifted from that of a journal to a thematic anthology. The theme of this year's volume is "Empowerment, Participation, Accountability and Non-Discrimination: Operationalising a Human Rights-Based Approach to Development." The Human Rights in Development Yearbook series takes its starting point in a development perspective and aims to be topical, comprehensive and multidisciplinary, exemplifying the "cross-fertilisation" of theoretical and practical approaches. Contributions are sought from researchers and practitioners in both recipient and donor countries. To ensure an increased focus on Southern perspectives the editorial group is in a process of enlargement so as to include representatives from recipient countries. Human Rights in Development is the result of a joint research project born out of longstanding cooperation between the following research institutes and centres for human rights: the Christian Michelsen Institute, Bergen; the Danish Institute for Human Rights, Copenhagen; the Icelandic Human Rights Center, Reykjavik; the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights, Vienna; the Netherlands Institute of Human Rights, Utrecht; the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights, Oslo; the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, Lund; and the Ebo Akademi University Institute for Human Rights, Turku/Ebo. As in previous years, the publication is aimed at a broad audience, including government agencies, donor agencies, embassies, the press, non-governmental organisations, and the academic community. |
