Förlagets beskrivning
On the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, this
book evaluates the impact of these norms on the behavior of national
governments in many regions of the world. Have the principles articulated in
the Declaration had any effect on the behavior of states towards their
citizens? What are the conditions under which international human rights norms
are internalized in domestic practices? And what can we learn from this case
about why, how, and under what conditions international norms in general
influence the actions of states? This book draws on the work of social
constructivists to examine these important issues. The contributors examine
eleven countries representing five different world regions - Northern Africa,
Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe - drawing
practical lessons for activists and policy makers concerned with preserving and
extending the human rights gains made during the past fifty years. Shows how global human rights norms have influenced national government
practices in eleven countries around the world.
