Human Rights and Development
The emergence of human rights within development and the evolving relationship was increasingly brought to bear upon key debates and policies over the last couple of decades.This book provides a critically informed, comprehensive and multi-disciplinary entry-level account of this engagement between human rights and development.It is theoretically and practically grounded and explores three over-arching questions and themes: First, why and how have human rights made this breakthrough?Second, is there agreement on human rights as a concept and how it is being used and understood within diverse development practices at global, national and local levels?Third, how can we gauge the impact of human rights based approaches upon development outcomes?The book concludes with what the future may hold for human rights and development.In-depth understanding of human rights as a development challenge and development as a human rights one, is presented and delineates the diverse responses and alternative critical approaches.Wide ranging in scope, it covers many examples of human rights within development, including global policy initiatives, and vulnerable groups, such as those living in poverty, socially excluded, people living with HIV/AIDS, residents of informal settlements, and human rights defenders. This textbook will be an essential resource for social science students, particularly in the fields of development studies, human rights and geography, as well as those interested in the intersection between law, human rights and social change.It should also appeal to practitioners in development and human rights.

Children’s Rights and Children’s Development: An Integrated Approach
Offers an assessment of how children’s rights take shape and are realized at various stages of child development and, in turn, can and should inform law and policyChildren’s rights and child development frameworks are critical to understanding children’s lived experiences, advancing child wellbeing, and implementing children’s rights.However, research in the two fields has proceeded largely on separate tracks.Children’s Rights and Child Development seeks to forge opportunities to deepen understanding about children’s rights in light of the scientific research on child development to inform fresh perspectives on research, law, and policy affecting children. Drawing on existing literature, studies, and research, Children’s Rights and Child Development provides an in-depth examination of the fundamental stages in childhood development—early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence.The book goes beyond the often very general language in law and policies that considers children as a homogenous group.It delineates how the rights of young people can be understood at each stage of development and how this can, and should, inform law and policy on children’s rights. Integrating children’s perspectives with the expertise from leading scholars in children’s rights and child development, Todres and Kilkelly reveal how an integrated approach to child rights and child development can be most impactful to child advocacy.This book is essential reading for anyone interested in child advocacy, offering insight into how the rights of young people can be understood at different stages of development, in a developmentally appropriate and rights compliant manner.

Does compulsory education violate human rights?
Compulsory education can be seen as a violation of human rights if it restricts individual freedom and choice. However, it can also be viewed as a way to ensure that every child has access to education, which is a fundamental human right. Compulsory education laws are intended to ensure that all children have the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to participate fully in society. It is important to balance the rights of individuals with the collective responsibility to ensure that all children have access to education.

The Human Rights-Based Approach to Higher Education : Why Human Rights Norms Should Guide Higher Education Law and Policy
A human right to higher education was included in the International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), which came into force in 1976.Yet the world has changed significantly since the ICESCR was drafted.State legislation and policies have generally followed a neoliberal trajectory, shifting the perception of higher education from being a public good to being a commodity able to be bought and sold.This model has been criticized, particularly because it generally reinforces social inequality.At the same time, attaining higher education has become more important than ever before.Higher education is a prerequisite for many jobs and those who have attained higher education enjoy improved life circumstances.This book seeks to determine: Is there still a place for the human right to higher education in the current international context?In seeking to answer this question, this book compares and contrasts two general theoretical models that are used to frame higher education policy: the market-based approach and the human rights-based approach.In the process, it contributes to an understanding of the likely effectiveness of market-based versus human rights-based approaches to higher education provision in terms of teaching and learning.This understanding should enable the development of more improved, sophisticated, and ultimately successful higher education policies. This book contends that a human rights-based approach to higher education policy is more likely to enable the achievement of higher education purposes than a market-based approach.In reaching this conclusion, the book identifies and addresses some strategic considerations of relevance for advocates of a human rights-based approach in this context.

The European Union and Global Development : A Rights-based Development Policy?
This book systematically analyses the EU’s commitment to a human rights-based approach to development through the lens of global justice theory.It identifies limits to the EU’s approach and discusses how standardised policies, particularly in the case of human rights sanctions, may be perceived as neo-colonially intrusive and can come at the cost of recognizing the experiences and interests of vulnerable groups and allowing for partner countries’ democratic ownership of their own development trajectory.Engaging with primary sources including official documents, reports, and 45 semi-structured interviews with EU and member state officials, the book also presents a novel explanation for why the EU, at times, steps out of its commitment to rights-based development and chooses differentiated foreign policy responses to similar situations.This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of EU foreign policy, EU development policy human rights, and international relations as well as policy practitioners working in the fields of development, human rights and democracy promotion.
