Human Rights
As technology makes the world more accessible, it is increasingly important to develop a wide perspective on crucial issues of global significance. This essential volume takes a look at human rights throughout the world. Readers will evaluate whether certain countries or cultures are falling short on human rights, including the European Unions, Bangladesh, Tibet, Israel, America, and China. They will read about whether certain policies are effective or failing in places like Britain, Myanmar, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Korea. Treatment of women and children is also explored in places such as Haiti and Saudi Arabia.

This book critically examines the concept and its record of achievement over the past two decades, putting it into the broader context of peace-building and state-buildin...
Migrant Encounters
Migrant Encounters examines what happens when migrants across Asia encounter both the restrictions and opportunities presented by state actors and policies, some that leave deep marks on migrants' own life trajectories and others that produce fragmentary, uneven traces. With a focus on those who migrate to perform intimate labor—domestic, care, and sex work—or whose own intimate and familial lives are redefined through migration, marriage, and sometimes parenthood, this volume argues that such encounters transform both migrants and the states between which they move. Written by an international group of anthropologists, sociologists, and geographers, these essays offer richly detailed an...
