Routledge Studies in Contextual and Intercultural Perspectives on Human Rights

This series elaborates theories and practices of human rights worldwide with a particular focus on contextuality and comparative approaches. It explores how the broad theme of human rights emerges in specific ways and is implemented differently in multiple regional settings. While acknowledging the tension between universal aspirations and contextual conditions in human rights discourses and claims, the proposed series will promote intercultural dialogue as a tool to bring together different theoretical perspectives, multiple experiences, alternative challenges, and potential synergies. Hoping to attract traditional　authored　monographs and edited academic collections, the series carries a wider remit also to handbooks, textbooks, survey books, and pedagogical materials to bring awareness of these plural viewpoints.

Key points for the series:

• emphasises how critical, cosmopolitan, intersectional, postcolonial, decolonial, intercultural, and interdisciplinary approaches contribute to the contextualization of human rights
• offers a cross-cultural framework capable of including various themes, theories, and regionally localized practices in a non-reductionistic way
• allows for the simultaneous expression of local, regional, and global issues in the variety of contexts and perspectives in which human rights emerge
• makes sense of the complexity of human rights by promoting an intercultural dialogue among authors from various contexts
• challenges limiting approaches and narrow understandings of "rights," and includes more explicit consideration of the implicit plurality in the "human" dimension.
