In recent years, political philosophers have debated whether human rights are a special class of moral rights we all possess simply by virtue of our common humanity and which are universal in time and space, or whether they are essentially modern political constructs defined by the role they play in an international legal-political practice that regulates the relationship between the governments of sovereign states and their citizens.

This edited volume sets out to further this debate and move it ahead by rethinking some of its fundamental premises and by applying it to new and challenging domains, such as socio-economic rights, indigenous rights, the rights of immigrants and the human rights responsibilities of corporations. Beyond the philosophy of human rights, the book has a broader relevance by contributing to key themes in the methodology of political philosophy and by addressing urgent issues in contemporary global policy making.

1. Theory, politics and practice: methodological pluralism in the philosophy of human rights Kristen Hessler

5. Mediating the theory and practice of human rights in morality and law David Ingram

6. Kantian human rights or how the individual has come to matter in international law Howard Williams

Part II:

8. When the practice gets complicated: moral rights, migrants and political institutions Jelena Belic

9. Can naturalistic theories of human rights accommodate the indigenous right to self-determination? Kerstin Reibold

11. Socio-economic rights: between essentialism and egalitarianism Malcolm Langford.
