How can universal human rights be reconciled with respect for wide cultural differences? This textbook introduces the core issues for students and addresses them through an interdisciplinary analysis of key case studies. Throughout the book, an alternative philosophical framework is offered as a model through which universalism and difference can be reconciled into a single global vision.
Cast studies include: the rights of women, ethnic and national minorities, indigenous peoples and religious communities.
Issues addressed include: FGM, LGBT rights, freedom of speech and the rights of indigenous peoples
Student features include: core questions, suggestions for further reading and two-colour layout
