EnglishDescription
This article offers an intellectual genealogy of how the concept of human rights has entered the development discourse - from the formulation of a 'right to development' to the rhetorical incorporation of rights within prevailing discourse, to the articulation of a 'rights-based approach' to development. It concludes with some propositions about the important role that a focus on rights might play in the practice of international development.<p>This article is hosted by our co-publisher Taylor & Francis.</p>Pages
