Gerd Oberleitner, UNESCO Chair in Human Rights and Human Security, together with Klaus Starl, Director of the UNESCO Centre for the Promotion of Human Rights at the Local and Regional Levels, contributes a chapter on “Understanding human rights at the local level” to the Edward Elgar Research Agenda for Human Rights, edited by Michael Stohl and Alison Brysk of the University of California Santa Barbara.
“This very timely volume looks forward to a dynamic new interdisciplinary agenda for human rights research. Including chapters on the origins of human rights, the insights economics offers for women’s rights and the imminent dangers of environmental activism, it illustrates the diverse approaches to human rights scholarship as well as the urgent need for it. Michael Stohl and Alison Brysk’s A Research Agenda for Human Rights is an excellent riposte to recent assertions about the end or futility of the human rights project.” (Neil Mitchell, University College London).
