Advancing Human Rights
Series Editors:
Sumner B. Twiss, Florida State University
John Kelsay, Florida State University
Terry Coonan, Florida State University
Editorial Advisory Board
Books in the Series
Georgetown University Press announces a new book series in the theory and praxis of human rights. Advancing Human Rights is guided by a vision of the human rights field as interdisciplinary, international, and comparative, combining both scholarship and advocacy.
While open to publishing volumes on all aspects of human rights, the series especially promotes three foci, either singly or in interaction: human rights and ethical inquiry; human rights and humanitarian law in international and national contexts; human rights and criminal justice. These foci will be pursued in a way that is informed by world trends and developments, such as increasing emphasis on the interdependence of social-cultural, civil, and economic rights, processes of globalization, environmental and social justice concerns, ethnonational conflict, and the treatment of marginalized or otherwise vulnerable groups and populations.
The series accepts work from all disciplinary and multidisciplinary perspectives, ranging across, for example, the humanities, human and social sciences, law, public policy, and international relations. While open to publishing occasional well-designed anthologies of original papers on focused themes and issues, the series will emphasize authored volumes.
Themes of interest include: Religious Belief and Human Rights, Comparative Ethics and Human Rights, Single Country or Comparative Case Studies, Normative or Empirical Studies, Measurement Problems in Developing Human Rights Indicators, Human Rights in Minority Communities, Interdependency of Human Rights, History and Development of Human Rights Doctrine, Causes and Consequences of Human Rights Violations, Enforcement of Human Rights Treaties, Human Rights and Political Obligation, Human Rights as a Foreign Policy Objective, Genocide and Civil Repression, Role of IGOs and NGOs in Promoting Human Rights, The Environment and Human Rights, Globalization, Democratization, Immigration Toleration.
