About this product
Product Information
Presenting detailed portraits by leading authorities of the politics of human rights across the major regions of the globe, A Force Profonde: The Power, Politics, and Promise of Human Rights reveals human rights to be a force as powerful as capitalist markets and technological innovation in shaping global governance. Human rights issues mobilize populations regardless of their national, ethnic, cultural, or religious differences. Yet progress in advancing human rights globally, as Edward A. Kolodziej and the other contributors to the volume contend, depends decisively on the local support and the efforts of the diverse and divided peoples of the world--a prerequisite that remains problematic in many parts of the globe. A Force Profonde explores conceptions of human rights from Western as well as other major world traditions in an attempt to dispel the notion that tyranny, culture, and religion are the only challenges to human rights. Focusing on regional patterns of conflict, the authors point out that violations often have to do with disputes over class, social status, economic privilege, and personal power. In addition, they contend that conflicts over identity are more prevalent in the West than commonly thought. Sharply conflicting views are to be found between the European Union and the United States over issues like the death penalty. Splits within the West between rival Christian sects and between religious adherents and partisans of secularization are no less profound than those in other regions.

Reviews
"An excellent contemporary evaluation of the relevant social and political dynamics impacting human rights in various corners of the globe at the onset of the twenty-first century."-- Choice, "An excellent contemporary evaluation of the relevant social and political dynamics impacting human rights in various corners of the globe at the onset of the twenty-first century."- Choice, "This discussion of the human rights condition of the world is better than any other volume I have seen. The volume succeeds in showing the contending forces at work--the political and power context within which efforts to enhance human rights operate, and the cultural and structural conditions that shape human rights efforts. I particularly like the emphasis on how the distribution of power in societies shapes what is being done, or not done. This conveys very clearly how human rights are a central political issue almost everywhere, which is a massive change from as little as twenty years ago."--Patrick M.
