商品簡介
Explores the geographies and spatialities of human rights, with particular emphasis on the connections between gender and human rights in planning and development. Challenging the traditional treatment of human rights cast in purely legal frameworks, contributors argue that, in order to promote the notion of human rights, its geographies and spatialities must be investigated and made explicit. Case studies examine the significance of these components in various countries with multicultured societies and identify ways to integrate human rights issues in planning, development, and policy making. The editor is a lecturer in geography and planning at Tel Aviv University, Israel. Cloth edition (15495-2), $85. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
