Description

It is becoming increasingly common for human rights norms to be transferred between legal and political systems, and Transnational Legal Processes and Human Rights offers a fresh approach to the intersection of transnational law and the protection of cultural difference beyond the single state border.

This book investigates how the construction and evolution of human rights norms are transferred in transnational legal settings and poses the question of whether law should reflect, express, or control any given aspect of culture. The chapters explore the ways that law and cultural identity may or may not co-exist, particularly in circumstances where a prima facie clash is observed.

Examining legal approaches to cultural differences from a comparative perspective and across a wide range of locations, the book covers topics such as juvenile punishment, religious defamation, religious rights, and conflict between industry and indigenous communities.

It will be of value to those working in the areas of transnational and comparative law, as well as those concerned with human rights and the intersection of law and cultural difference.
