New publication on Human Rights Policy

The book “Human Rights Politics. An introduction” by Michael Krennerich has just been published – also available as Open Access. It provides an introduction to the diversity of topics, actors and institutions in human rights politics and shows how political science and related disciplines can contribute to organizing the field of research and (better) systematically describing and investigating the complex reality of human rights politics. The book deals with civil society engagement in human rights as well as state obligations and international efforts to protect human rights.
