Publisher's Synopsis
Today's world is full of cross cutting globalizations. As technologies and economic integration continue to develop, key stakeholders from governments to NGOs are adapting to this globalized economy. This book explores how the international human rights framework is developing in response to this evolution. It does this by critically appraising human rights approaches to development, global poverty and globalization that have developed in the 'post-Washington Consensus Era'. It draws on primary sources, case studies and a range of theoretical perspectives to offer an original insight into contemporary human rights responses to globalization.
