Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The seminar will explore the links between development and the role of human rights as part of the good governance agenda. The relationship between human rights and development has been an ambiguous and contested one since the early 1960s. Increasingly though, and specifically since the end of the Cold War, mainstream thinking tends to accept that human rights and development are intrinsically linked and regarded as 'two sides of the same coin'. Human rights and development can be linked in numerous ways. This seminar will review the human rights and development debate and will look at a number of ways in which the two areas can be linked. By reviewing how the two areas can be linked and reviewing why states make human rights part of their policies, relevant issues surrounding the two areas and possible tensions and contestations between the two areas will be discussed. The way that these issues are mirrored when adopting one approach or the other will also become apparent. By looking more closely at human rights approaches to development, it will become clear that the lines between one approach and the other might sometimes be blurred, and that there might be a discrepancy between rhetoric or policy and practice. And finally, this seminar will discuss what all of the above means for state institutions.
