Reviews
'A superb collection of essays epitomizing the new wave of human rights scholarship that is more evaluative, inter-disciplinary, quantitative, critical and engaged. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how, when and why the international human rights system works (and doesn't work).' Philip G. Alston, John Norton Pomeroy Professor of Law, New York University
'The Persistent Power of Human Rights shows the persistent imagination of a group of scholars who developed the spiral model more than a decade ago. The revisited version is as significant for our understanding of social norms as the 1999 book was - a must for students of human rights.' Michael Zurn, Director at the WZB and Professor of International Relations, Freie Universitat Berlin
