Klappentext "A radical vision for the future of human rights as a fundamentally reconfigured framework for global justice. "Reinventing Human Rights" offers a bold argument: that only a radically reformulated approach to human rights will prove adequate to confront and overcome the most consequential global problems. Charting a new path--away from either common critiques of the various incapacities of the international human rights system or advocacy for the status quo--Mark Goodale offers a new vision for human rights as a basis for collective action and moral renewal. Goodale's proposition to reinvent human rights begins with a deep unpacking of human rights institutionalism and political theory in order to give priority to the "practice of human rights." Rather than a priori claims to universality, he calls for a working theory of human rights defined by "translocality," a conceptual and ethical grounding that invites people to form alliances beyond established boundaries of community, nation, race, or religious identity. This book will serve as both a concrete blueprint and source of inspiration for those who want to preserve human rights as a key framework for confronting our manifold contemporary challenges, yet who agree--for many different reasons--that to do so requires radical reappraisal, imaginative reconceptualization, and a willingness to reinvent human rights as a cross-cultural foundation for both empowerment and social action"-- Inhaltsverzeichnis One: Human Rights against the Maelstroms Two: Human Rights, Capitalism, and the Ends of Economic Life Three: Remaking Sovereignty in the Image of Human Rights Four: Human Rights beyond the Rule of Law Five: Decolonizing Human Rights Six: Human Rights Otherwise Seven: The Subjects of Human Rights Eight: Human Rights in a G20 World ...
