Human Rights and Development

Uvin (international humanitarian studies, Tufts University) examines the relationship between development aid and human rights violations and prescribes strategies for reducing conflict and improving outcomes. He specifically advances an analysis of the need to effect social change at a global level and advocates a rights-based approach to economic development. Chapters address legal challenges, political conditionality, positive support, remaining questions, and related topics. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
