520 |a Recounts the dramatic struggle for human rights across the ages, synthesizing historical and intellectual developments from the Mesopotamian Codes of Hammurabi to today's era of globalization. Chronicles the clash of social movements, ideas, and armies that have played a part in this struggle, illustrating how the history of human rights has evolved from one era to the next through texts, cultural traditions, and creative expression. Develops a framework for understanding contemporary issues from the debate over globalization to the intervention in Kosovo to the climate for human rights after September 11, 2001. Incorporates notable documents---writings, speeches, and political statements---from activists, writers, and thinkers throughout history in exploring six core questions that have shaped human rights debate and scholarship: 1) What are the origins of human rights?; 2) Why did the European vision of human rights triumph over those of other civilizations?; 3) Has socialism made a lasting contribution to the legacy of human rights?; 4) Are human rights universal or culturally bound?; 5) Must human rights be sacrificed to the demands of national security?; 6) Is globalization eroding or advancing human rights?
