Description
While 'rights-based' approaches to development - those in which development and poverty alleviation are viewed through the lens of human rights - have become the language of choice among the international development community, less is known about how human rights are used for development at the local level. Using a case study of Fiji, this research investigates how local NGOs understand and use human rights for development. It demonstrates some of the tensions involved in translating broad and supposedly universal approaches to human rights into local contexts.<p>This article is hosted by our co-publisher Taylor & Francis.</p>
