- Reconstructing Human Rights is the product of six years of research. The book critically surveys contemporary human rights theory and makes an innovative normative argument combining Pragmatism and Agonistic Pluralism that links the justification of human rights to their consequences. It draws on human rights law, social movements, and original empirical research, including archival research on the debates of the UN Committee on Human Rights from 1946-48, using the UN archive and the Charles Malik Papers at the Library of Congress, plus interviews with 26 human rights activists in six cities, and extended participant observations in Chicago and Washington DC.��
