- The book took 5 years to complete. It develops sociological theory on cultural politics (contested interpretations), organisations (NGOs, social movements, IGOs) and structures (states, markets) to analyse uses of human rights across a wide range of topics and case studies from the Global South and North. The work for the book involved the in-depth study and synthesis of disciplinary perspectives from Anthropology, International Relations and Law. Marketed as a textbook, it required much more than gathering material together. The book represents the sustained development of original theory to map out a novel and complex field of study for Sociology.
