Indeks : p.185 - 189 ; p.166 - 184 ; This book analyzes the scope and effeciveness of rights-based governance in attaching a rights framework to emerging governance regimes and discourses as well as their utility for claiming rights in practice. In exploring how the architecture and instruments of global governance provide new spaces for political activism, as well as obstacles, the central argument highlights the importance of claiming rights. Making claims first requires that issues such as proverty, workplace conditions or social exclusion are conceptualized, in a collective way, as rights violations. In order to be effective on the ground, rights must go beyond the purely legal domain, inherent in conceptions of liberal global governance as the 'the rule of law' or 'good governance' and must inform state policies. It explores and analyzes how liberal global governance is really affecting ordinary people and how this can be both an opportunity and an obstacle to development, citizenship, voice and inclusion.
