Book Synopsis Human Rights and Good Governance by : Hans-Otto Sano
Download or read book Human Rights and Good Governance written by Hans-Otto Sano and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-08-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, the result of an ongoing Nordic research project undertaken under the auspices of the Danish Centre for Human Rights in Copenhagen and the Raoul Wallenberg Institute for Human Rights and Humanitarian Law in Lund, examines the relationship and possible interaction between good governance and human rights. The contributors consist of academics and professionals with backgrounds in development studies, economics, law, political science, and sociology. Together they demonstrate the need for interdisciplinary dialogue and clarification of concepts, contents, and processes of realisation. While good governance is mainly pursued in a development context, it is a central message of the book that good governance guidelines ought to have universal applicability, affecting international organisations and public and private actors in Northern as well as Southern countries. Yet an established consensus does not exist on how good governance and human rights can or should complement each other. The book therefore assesses the advantages of using existing links and identifies ways of building new bridges for mutual support between governance and human rights. The authors examine their topics on the basis of theory, best practices, law, the experiences of societies undergoing democratic transition, and other empirical evidence, without attempting to come up with a common definition of good governance. The plurality of interpretations will hopefully further strengthen good governance and human rights as integral elements of a global agenda.
Book Synopsis Democratic Governance and Human Rights by : John Shelley
Download or read book Democratic Governance and Human Rights written by John Shelley and published by States Academic Press. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Democratic governance is a system of government wherein the actions of institutions are directed by democratic norms and processes. It encompasses political pluralism, institutional accountability and democratic elections. Promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms are integral to successful democratic governance. The relationship between democracy and human rights is elaborate, interdependent and mutually important. A rights centered approach to democracy based on the rule of law is the most reliable safeguard against human rights abuses. The success of a democracy building effort will be directly influenced by the inclusive and consultative nature of the constitution making process. Human rights standards provide a broad basis for these processes. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of democratic governance and human rights. It studies, analyses and upholds the pillars of these practices and their utmost significance in modern times. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by this book.
Book Synopsis Human Rights and Democracy by : Todd Landman
Download or read book Human Rights and Democracy written by Todd Landman and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 20th century has been described as the bloodiest in human history, but it was also the century in which people around the world embraced ideas of democracy and human rights as never before, constructing social, political and legal institutions seeking to contain human behaviour. Todd Landman offers an optimistic, yet cautionary tale of these developments, drawing on the literature, from politics, international relations and international law. He celebrates the global turn from tyranny and violence towards democracy and rights but also warns of the precariousness of these achievements in the face of democratic setbacks and the undermining of rights commitments by many countries during the so-called 'War on Terror'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions surrounding democracy, governance, and development especially in the view of Africa have provoked acrimonious debates in the past few years. It remains a perennial question why some decades after political independence in Africa the continent continues experiencing bad governance, lagging behind socioeconomically, and its democracy questionable. We admit that a plethora of theories and reasons, including iniquitous and malicious ones, have been conjured in an attempt to explain and answer the questions as to why Africa seems to be lagging behind other continents in issues pertaining to good governance, democracy and socio-economic development. Yet, none of the theories and reasons proffered so far seems to have provided enduring solutions to Africa’s diverse complex problems and predicaments. This book dissects and critically examines the matrix of Africa’s multifaceted problems on governance, democracy and development in an attempt to proffer enduring solutions to the continent’s long-standing political and socio-economic dilemmas and setbacks.

Book Synopsis The Palgrave Handbook of Democracy, Governance and Justice in Africa by : Aderomola Adeola
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Democracy, Governance and Justice in Africa written by Aderomola Adeola and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an emerging consensus that what is projected as democratic governance and justice in Africa requires a re-calibration, in particular, in relation to the constitutive demos, human rights, the realisation of commitments at various governance levels and the convergence between these ideations. The post-colonial narrative on democracy has unveiled some crevices in rule of law, political equality, political participation, political culture and freedom of the press. Aside from the fact that these notions are threatened by some existing institutional structures, these notions are increasingly being negotiated across political spaces. Evident in the prevalent narrative is an imperative for Africa to assert its place on the global scene of democratic governance and justice. However, if this will be accomplished, it is important to understand some of the issues that need to be worked through in this transition.
