Details

“This book is likely to be the gold standard for all future discussions of a constellation of the world’s and, in particular, Asia’s most intractable problems. The 28 essays, written by distinguished authors from perspectives that cross geographic, ideological and disciplinary lines, thoughtfully consider issues of human rights (both substantive and institutional), poverty and development, corruption, and terrorism, the great leveler of civil liberties. The book should have a shelf life as long as these issues persist, that is, for the indefinite future.” – Norman Dorsen, Stokes Professor of Law, New York University School of Law, & Founder and Editorial Director, International Journal of Constitutional Law

“This excellent compilation discusses human rights and development across several disciplines, underscoring the UN’s commitment to human rights as an issue that cuts across all aspects of global governance. It makes a significant contribution towards understanding the different types of linkages between human rights and development and deserves to be read by scholars and practitioners alike.” – Shashi Tharoor, Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information, United Nations

“This is a most timely and outstanding collection of studies on issues that for some time now have required deeper analysis grounded in empirical and local cum national and international experiences. It provides exciting and well researched studies on the challenges and multi-disciplinary complexities of human rights approaches to development issues.” – Bard A. Andreassen, Director of Research, Norwegian Centre for Human Rights, University of Oslo

“This book contains an extraordinary array of stimulating and insightful perspectives on the challenge of bringing the human rights and development paradigms closer together in the Asian context.” – Philip Alston, John Norton

Pomeroy Professor of Law, New York University School of Law, & Special Adviser to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on the Millennium Development Goals
