Sommario/riassunto

This book analyses major discourses of human rights for democracy and social justice. The chapters contained in the book examine critically major issues confronting human rights for democracy and social justice both locally and globally. The chapters analyze the challenges that different societies are confronted with, as they attempt to implement, protect and defend democracy, cultural diversity and human rights in an ever-changing world, and culturally diverse environment. Topics covered include dimensional concerns for social justice and human rights and what to do about them, human rights for democracy and social justice, and celebrating cultural diversity in sport. The book will help readers to explore their own views and consider more broadly what may be in the best interests of a fair and just society, as envisioned in human rights treaties, human rights education in schools, and cultural diversity.
