Produktbeschreibung

Addressing how state representatives have to negotiate the tensions between international legal imperatives, the expectations of donors, the demands of institutions, as well as their own interests, State Violence and Human Rights addresses how legal practices - rooted in global human rights discourse or local demands - take hold in societies where issues of state violence remain to be resolved.
