Globalization, sovereignty, intemational law and human rights. 330 $aHuman rights are acquiring an increasingly prominent role on the world stage. Interest in, concern about and action on human rights are widespread and rising, albeit in a far from globally even, uniform and untroubled fashion. Human rights have generated a booming global industry while having become, not unconnectedly, highly controversial and deeply contested. Human rights matters have emerged as a major source of disagreement, dispute and discord at and between the local, regional and global levels of social, cultural, political and economic life. These developments are addressed in the book by an examination of the links between the evolving global human rights regime (GHRR) and the character and course of human rights in the world's most dynamic, complex and problematic region, that of the Asia Pacific. The authors argue that although the Asia Pacific and human rights nexus is influenced by cultural clashes, it is largely shaped by power distributions and struggles rooted in the global political economy (GPE). The prevailing GHRR reflects the way in which globalization processes have been Western led, but its future is far from certain given the current shift in the balance of GPE power towards the Asia Pacific, and especially East Asia. 410 0$aInternational political economy of new regionalisms series. 606 $aHuman rights$zEast Asia 606 $aHuman rights$zSoutheast Asia 606 $aHuman rights$zPacific Area 606 $aHuman rights$xInternational cooperation 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aHuman rights$xInternational cooperation. 676 $a323/.095 700 $aClose$b Paul.$0553973 701 $aAskew$b David$0595563 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974154303321 996 $aAsia Pacific and human rights$9992636 997 $aUNINA
