| 概要 | Human Rights in Asia considers how human rights are viewed and implemented in Asia. It covers not just civil and political rights, but also social, economic and cultural rights. This study discusses...the problems arising from the fact that ideas of human rights have evolved in Western liberal democracies and examines how far such values are compatible with Asian values and applicable in Asian contexts. Core chapters on France and the USA provide a benchmark on how human rights have emerged and how they are applied and implemented in a civil law and a common law jurisdiction. These are then followed by twelve chapters on the major countries of East Asia plus India, each of which follows a common template to consider the context of the legal system in each country, black letter law, legal discussions and debates and key current issues concerning human rights in each jurisdiction. This book analyses how human rights are viewed and implemented in Asia. Specialists from fourteen countries and jurisdictions examine personal integrity, civil and political, social and economic, and cultural rights. Each chapter provides a general introduction to rights theory and practice, discussion of the relevant case law for each type of right, and concluding remarks that situate a country's performance within a broader comparative context. The chapters on France and the USA provide a benchmark for assessing how human rights have emerged and been implemented in a civil law and a common law jurisdiction. These are then followed by twelve chapters on the major countries of East Asia and India, each of which follows a common template to consider the context of the legal system, black-letter law, legal discussions and debates, and controversial issues concerning human rights. This book will be of interest to scholars, government officials, NGOs and others seeking to promote human rights, democracy, rule of law, and law and development. The volume is well-suited for undergraduate and graduate courses in a wide variety of fields including political science, law and sociology. Book jacket.続きを見る |
