Présentation de l'éditeur :
Richard Thompson Ford offers a lesson on how to reconcile lofty human rights ambitions with political and cultural realities. His analysis of human rights struggles across the globe uncovers the complexities of observing "universal" principles in specific cultures. Ford sketches divergent views on how we define rights, then offers his critique: on the ground, rights depend on a network of institutions and an underlying civic culture for enforcement, as even well-meaning reforms can lead to increased exploitation of the people they would protect. Ford explores five cases - from distributing food to the poor in India to sex-trafficking in Japan - and drives home a provocative conclusion. We must engage locally - in laws, institutions and social relationships - to realise meaningful change. And those who would "speak truth to power" must acknowledge the potential costs of reform.
Biographie de l'auteur :
Richard Thompson Ford is the George E. Osborne Professor of Law at Stanford Law School. He is the author of The Race Card, and has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle and Slate.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The idea of universal rightsrights shared by all citizens, regardless of nationality, creed, wealth, or geographyhas a powerful grip on the way many people feel about justice and global politics. No one should be subjected to torture or disappearance, to starvation or sex trafficking, to economic exploitation or biased treatment under the law. But when it comes to actually enforcing these rights, the results rarely resemble the ideal. In Universal Rights Down to Earth, acclaimed author and legal expert Richard Thompson Ford reveals how attempts to apply "universal" human rights principles to specific cultures can hinder humanitarian causes and sometimes even worsen conditions for citizens. In certain regions, human rights ideals clash with the limits of institutional capabilities or civic culture; elsewhere, rights enforcement leads to further human rights violations. And in some countries, offending regimes use human rights commitments to distract attention from or justify their other abuses. Ford explores how our haste to identify every ideal as a universal right devalues rights as a whole, so that even the most important protectionssuch as that against torturebecome negotiable. In clear, persuasive prose, Ford explores cases ranging from food distribution to the poor in India to sex work in Japan, illustrating how a rights-based approach to these problems often impedes more effective measuresthe pragmatic politics of cost weighing, compromise, and collective action. The bad news is that improving lives worldwide isn't as easy as making a declaration. But the good news, as Universal Rights Down to Earth powerfully demonstrates, is that if we are clear-eyed and culturally aware, it can be done. A path-blazing lesson on how to reconcile lofty human rights ambitions with political and cultural realities. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780393343397
