Description

Globalisation is a dominant force which is shaping a new era of interaction among nations, economies and people. It is increasing the contacts between people across national boundaries-in economy, technology, culture and governance. But it is also fragmenting production processes, labour markets, political entries and societies.

This book provides a detailed account of the status of human rights and their governance in the age of globalization. It highlights the importance of the need for changes in international governance to enhance human dignity in the changing world. The content of the book will be highly informative to human rights activists, policy makers, students and all the concerned.
