More DescriptionIn this book, leading international human rights scholars take the familiar idea that 'everything changed' after 9/11 as a starting point for the first critical analysis of continuity and change in the international human rights regime in the 21st century. They analyze it from various levels of the human rights regime, including compliance and violations, normative and political discourses, legal and institutional developments at the national, regional and international levels, and developments in the non-state sector. Written from diverse methodological perspectives, the volume provides rich and varied insights on vital questions concerning the resiliency, weaknesses, and prospects of human rights today."
