He is the author of Issues and Methods in Comparative Politics and coauthor of Governing Latin America and Citizenship Rights and Social Movements. Klappentext In "Protecting Human Rights," Todd Landman provides a unique quantitative analysis of the marked gap between the principle and practice of human rights. Applying theories and methods from the fields of international law, international relations, and comparative politics, Landman examines data from 193 countries over 25 years (1976-2000) to assess the growth of the international human rights regime, the effect of law on actual protection, and global variation in human rights norms. Zusammenfassung How are we to reconcile the language of rights with the reality? Do we live in an age of rights after all? This title provides a quantitative analysis of the marked gap between the principle and practice of human rights.
