- This monograph presents research undertaken between 2004-2017, based on 53 interviews with local government politicians, executives, activists, academics, and experts. It utilises primary sources (some of which were complex to access e.g., New York municipal archives) and a variety of written documents produced by local governments, civil society organisations, and international agencies. This rich dataset enables a unique, critical sociological perspective on human rights in cities beyond their formal institutions. The research tracks the complex and ambivalent use of human rights from the 1950s onwards, under administrations of changing political orientation, in three urban contexts in three different states.
