Summary

Debating Human Rightsbrings together a very broad range of scholars and observers from Asia and the US to discuss the issues that so frequently cause division. It includes four opening chapters that cover the broad issues in dispute such as the impact of globalization, and Asian values. There are also separate sections on human rights in Greater China, women's rights, and human rights and international relations. The book concludes with a section that critiques the role of China, japan and the US in contemporary human rights diplomacy. This volume breaks new ground by bringing together a group of contributors with diverse and often controversial views. It will also be welcomed for its pragmatic attempt to reconcile some of these opinions.
