This book offers compelling insights into contemporary challenges and transformative possibilities of the struggle for sexual rights. It combines the conceptual with the political, and offers inspiring examples of practical interventions and campaigns that emphasize the positive demensions of sexuality. It brings reflections and experiences of researchers, activists and practitioners together. From political discourse on sex and masculinity to sex work and trafficking, from HIV and sexuality to struggles for legal reform and citizenship, the authors explore the gains of creating stronger linkages between sexuality, human rights and development. |

The Development Dimension, , 2006 |
| Samenvatting |
In the recent years, human rights and development have been converging. Growing recognition that there are curcial links between rights and violations, poverty, environmental degradation, vulnerability and conflict has led many OECD member countries and multilateral donors to look at human rights more thoroughly as a means for improving the quality of development co-operation. Some have adopted human rights-based approaches to development, while others have preferred to integrate human rights explicitly or implicitly into various dimensions of their development work, especially into their governance agendas. |

Ce qui constitue simulanément pour elles un régime de nouvelles contraintes opérationelles et un ensemble d'opportunités stratégiques. Entre régulation, auto-régulation et non régulation; entre logique de gouvernement -d'interventionnisme étatique-, et logique de gouvernance- de responsabilisation sociale de l'entreprise; entre chartes sociales, codes de conduite, normes sociales et systèmes de labellisation sociale. |

Cosmopolitanism. Ethics in a World of Strangers. |
| Auteur(s) |
Appiah, Kwame Anthony |
| Uitgever(s) |
New York, London, W. W. Norton, , ISBN 0-393-06155-8 |
| Samenvatting |
Appiah remind us of the powerful ties that connect people across religions, cultures and nations... and of the deep conflicts within them. Finding his philosophical inspiration in the Greek Cynics, who first articulated the cosmopolitan ideal -that all human beings were fellow citizens of the world- cosmopolitanism underwrote some of the greatest moral achievements of the Enlightment including the 'Rights of men' and Kant's proposal for a 'league of nations'. Today the foreignness of foreigners, the strangerness of strangers are real enough, but Appiah suggets that intellectuals and leaders on the left and the right, have widly exaggerate their significance. In developing a cosmopolitanism for our times, he defends a vision of art and literature as a common human possession, distinguishes the global claims of cosmopolitanism from those of its fundamentalists enemies, and explores what we do, and do not, owe to stangers. This deeply human account will make it harder for us to think of the world as diveded between West and the Rest, between locals and moderns, between Us and Them. |

| Samenvatting |
Violent conflict can spell catastrophe for developing countries and their neighbors, stunting and even reversing the course of economic growth. World Bank research on the cause of conflict and civil war finds that the countries more likely to be blighted by conflict are those whose economies depend heavily on natural resources. This volume explains the links between resource dependence and conflict and then considers what can be done to help reduce the risk of civil war in these nations. |
