His argument is that the human rights tradition offers significant means to reduce violence in the world, although it needs recasting if it is to achieve this objective effectively. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe concept of human rights emerged out of the Western legal tradition and claims to be of universal application. However, the historical and cultural \u003ci\u003eWestern\u003c\/i\u003e imprint on the idea of human rights leads to difficulties, theoretical and political. Galtung assesses these problems and focuses, in particular, on the failure of the legal tradition to take account of problems that are located in the economic and political structures of society and in cultural life more generally. He proposes to remedy these deficiencies by developing an accounting approach to human rights based on human needs, a structural analysis, and a clear examination of diverse social and cultural processes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe result is a highly original account of human rights and a new approach to this important subject matter. \u003ci\u003eHuman Rights in Another Key\u003c\/i\u003e will become a major reference point in all future discussions about human rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohan Galtung\u003c\/b\u003e is internationally renowned in his field and is the author of many books and articles on peace studies including \u003ci\u003eEnvironment, development and military activity, \u003c\/i\u003e (Norwegian Universities Press, 1982), \u003ci\u003eGlobal Militarization\u003c\/i\u003e (Ed. with Peter Wallensteen and Corlos Portales, Westview Press, 1985) and \u003ci\u003e Europe in the Making\u003c\/i\u003e (Crane Russak \/ Taylor and Francis Inc, 1989).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 1994\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47354190168313,"sku":"9780745613765","price":62.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/bUFMcmVzTWovOXdnWkdlV2VpS1Z0QT09.webp?v=1769833014","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/human-rights-in-another-key-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
