Boundaries of State, Boundaries of Rights : Human Rights, Private Actors, and Positive Obligations, Hardback Book

Boundaries of State, Boundaries of Rights : Human Rights, Private Actors, and Positive Obligations Hardback

Edited by Tsvi (Queen's University, Ontario) Kahana, Anat Scolnicov

Hardback

Description

This collection of essays draws together innovative scholars to examine the relationship between two legal and political phenomena: the shrinking of the state as a monopoly of power in favour of the expansion of power over individuals in private hands, and the change in the nature of rights.

The authors expertly discuss the implications of the changing boundaries of state power, the legal responses to this development, its application to human rights, and re-conceptualizations of public life as obligations are handed over to private hands.

This innovative book deals with an important set of problems and offers a fresh perspective of different legal themes in an integrated fashion.
