SoSe 14: International Human Rights Advocacy and Contestation

Katrin Kinzelbach

Kommentar

The aim of this course is to provide students with both theory-based and practice-oriented knowledge on human rights advocacy and contestation. Following an introduction to the theoretical and historical foundations of international human rights, the course will introduce the norms, legal regimes, institutional mechanisms and transnational advocacy networks that make up today's international human rights system. Students will learn to understand this system as a political project; we will look at how and why human rights regimes are created and in what way their implementation is subject to interpretation and contestation. We will discuss how different actors change, develop and contest human rights norms. In the course of several exercises, students will familiarize themselves with challenges of contemporary human rights advocacy and will also learn hands-on skills required to work in this sector. I encourage a multi-disciplinary approach and welcome students from other faculties as well as exchange students. The course is reading-, discussion- and exercise-intensive. Essential reading: Forsythe: Human Rights in International Relations (Cambridge Univ. Press); Goodhart (ed.): Human Rights: Politics and Practice (Oxford Univ. Press); Neier: The International Human Rights Movement (Princeton University Press); Risse/Ropp/Sikkink: The Persistent Power of Human Rights: From Commitment to Compliance (Cambridge University Press).
