Review

'The Politics of Justice and Human Rights goes on to discuss questions which anyone thinking seriously about the place of human rights in contemporary political analysis and action needs to consider ... Langlois ... has produced a very valuable book on a topic that, since the end of the Cold War, has become central to international politics.' Asian Affairs

'This book attempts to go beyond the overwrought 'values' debate and is valuable.' Journal of Commonwealth and Comparative Politics

'... a comprehensive and detailed study ...'. Netherlands Institute of Human Rights

Book Description

This book, first published in 2001, makes a major contribution to human rights theory and practice, engaging in particular with the 'Asian values' debate. It is especially concerned with the tension between a universal regime of human rights and its ability to accommodate diversity.
