The seminar deals with the politics of human rights from the perspective of comparative political science. This seminar offers the possibility of a critical examination of the current literature in the field of human rights research. The focus of the event is on the institution and its impact on government action. This includes an in-depth examination of different global and regional human rights regimes. In addition, we deal with the question of how one can explain differences in state action with regard to the ratification of human rights conventions and compliance with contractual obligations. close
