Books by Lydia (University of Essex Morris

This book examines the contribution social theory can make to understanding different human rights which operate in a variety of settings. Including an introduction to the theoretical issues raised by the study of rights, it covers a range of individual and collective rights, illuminating the relationship between social theory and human rights.

Pursues the premise that rights must be understood as part of a social process: as an object of negotiation and contestation, and so as a terrain for strategies of inclusion and exclusion.
