Why are some states more prone to human rights violations than others? Whose responsibility is it to prevent violations? How does globalization both help and harm populations that are more prone to violations? The students participating in this class should expect to learn the present definitions and understandings of human rights in the terms of political science. The class will resemble a graduate level seminar in style and form; that is we will spend most of the class period in discussion of the weekly readings, and it is expected that each student will attend class and participate in these discussions.
