International Human Rights in Context: Law, Politics, Morals - 3rd Edition Henry J. Steiner, Philip Alston, Ryan Goodman The third edition of International Human Rights in Context offers sophisticated and thought-provoking analysis for the study of human rights within its social and cultural context. This widely acclaimed interdisciplinary coursebook provides a diverse range of carefully edited primary and secondary materials alongside extensive text, editorial commentary, and study questions. A new online supplement to the coursebook provides the reader with key official documents including treaties, declarations, and resolutions to which the book refers. Retaining the prior editions' conceptual framework, this edition has been considerably revised and restructured, tackling contemporary issues and incorporating new themes and topics including: human rights in relation to terrorism, national security, and the humanitarian laws of war; responsibility of non-state actors for human rights violations; recent changes in concepts and practice about sources and processes of international law; recent reforms of UN human rights institutions; state exceptionalism and unilateralism; theories about international organisations and their influence on state behavior. Written by leading figures in the field, and providing an unrivalled level of analysis and breadth of materials, International Human Rights in Context is the ideal companion for human rights students, scholars, advocates and practitioners alike.
