Critical Theory and Human Rights - From Compassion to Coercion

This book describes the evolution of the human rights movement into a grand managerial project, rooted in compassion, with the aim of improving universal welfare by defining the conditions of human well-being and imposing obligations on the state and other actors to realise them. It argues that this is ultimately antagonistic to individual freedom.
