Norms and Human Rights in International Relations

Political Studies Review, 2006, vol. 4, issue 1, 36-47

Abstract: The three volumes on human rights reviewed here constitute the first wave of in‐depth case studies of human rights from a constructivist approach in international relations. By acknowledging the theoretical contributions of these works, identifying their shortcomings and engaging in critiques of the authors’ conceptions of identity and norms, this article provides direction for future studies on human rights through the constructivist framework.
