Sommario/riassunto

In Human Rights and Development, award-winning author Peter Uvin extends the examination of development aid and human rights violations that he presented in his book on the Rwandan genocide, Aiding Violence. Whereas that book is diagnostic, Human Rights and Development is prescriptive-a response to requests from development and human rights organizations to help them effect strategies for reducing conflict and improving human rights outcomes.
