Funded Activity Summary

HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF WORLD POLITICS. Rights politics played a central role in the international changes that occurred at Westphalia (1648), in the Age of Revolutions (1776-1848), with decolonisation (1950s-1960s), and in the aftermath of the Cold War. Yet the literature on human rights and international relations has failed to consider the impact of rights politics over the longue duree. This project systematically examines how, and to what extent, rights politics has transformed the international system since the seventeenth century to the present era. It will generate a series of articles, a single-authored book, and an edited volume.
