Religious NGOs in International Relations

The Construction of 'The Religious' and 'The Secular'

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Focusing on the construction of the human rights discourse inside two religiously affiliated organizations, (The Commissions of the Churches on International Affairs (CCIA) and Pax Romana (IMCS / ICMICA)) which have been (a) formally accredited as NGOs by the UN, (b) label themselves as religious, and (c) look back upon a long and intense cooperation with the UN, this book presents material from the archives of those two organizations that has so far rarely been used for academic analysis. In doing so, it documents the initial encounters between those organizations and the UN
