Human Rights, Security Politics and Embodiment, Paperback / softback Book

Human Rights, Security Politics and Embodiment Paperback / softback

Part of the Anthem Impact series

Paperback / softback

Description

Virtuous institutions, such as human rights ones, have been neglected by securitization theory’s focus on the national state apparatus as the key driver of security politics.

This book challenges this assumption, showing the ways institutional human rights, deemed the most progressive of rights, have been complicit in rendering the body vulnerable.

While the book principally focuses on the treatment of the veiled woman, it also considers wider cases involving torture: the ultimate removal of control over one’s body and biggest transgression of human rights’ supposed foundational commitment to bodily integrity.
