Can human rights be truly universal, without becoming a subtle form of Western imperialism or restricting the rights of women, minorities, LGBT people and other culturally disadvantaged peoples? This book critically addresses these core issues through an interdisciplinary analysis of key case studies and particularly challenging issues. The book proposes a philosophical framework in which universalism and difference can be reconciled into a single global vision and attempts to become the definitive source for this increasingly important area of study and practice.

Andrew Fagan is Director of Postgraduate Studies at the University of Essex.
