Human Rights and Populism Ford Jolyon
For decades, framing an issue as a 'human rights' issue carried certain power and effect in politics and international relations, one that has been challenged by the recent rise of populist political forces. Rather than 'what have populists done to human rights?', it asks 'how did we, the human rights movement, do this to ourselves?' How did fundamental protections for all become so easily scapegoated as 'us and them', as claims of small, often foreign, minorities? Ford explores the recent impact of populist politics on the universalist human rights project, in particular, how scholars have framed and responded to this challenge.Ford offers a provocation to the human rights movement.
Looking forward, the book asks how -- in a post-truth 'fake news' Did human rights lose some vital connection to ordinary people's interests, their value taken as obvious and self-explanatory?
