L’autore offre uno sguardo multidisciplinare, attingendo contributi dalla filosofia –in particolare dal pragmatismo americano e dall’ermeneutica continentale contemporanea- e innestandoli su un matrice sociologica. Di particolare rilievo sono la sua teoria circa l’origine dei valori, il tema dei diritti umani, le riflessioni sul ruolo della religione nella società contemporanea e sul significato moderno della guerra. Il volume è introdotto da un saggio di Ugo Perone, Direttore della Scuola di Alta Formazione filosofica.

The term 'vulnerability' is often used in law and policy to refer to disadvantaged, marginalized or excluded human beings. This book explores how a vulnerability focus in basic assistance policies can contribute to substantive equality and therefore to the realization of universal human rights in the migration context. It concentrates on the potential that such a vulnerability focus can have to mitigate stigmatization and stereotyping and to facilitate socio-economic participation.

This book fundamentally reinterprets the history of international human rights in the post-1945 era by documenting how pivotal the Global South was for their breakthrough. In stark contrast to other contemporary human rights historians who have focused almost exclusively on the 1940s and the 1970s - heavily privileging Western agency - Steven L. B. Jensen convincingly argues that it was in the 1960s that universal human rights had their breakthrough. This is a ground-breaking work that places race and religion at the center of these developments and focuses on a core group of states who led the human rights breakthrough, namely Jamaica, Liberia, Ghana, and the Philippines. They transformed the norms upon which the international community today is built. Their efforts in the 1960s post-colonial moment laid the foundation - in profound and surprising ways - for the so-called human rights revolution in the 1970s, when Western activists and states began to embrace human rights.

"International human rights have been largely understood and articulated as limitations to state sovereignty, leading to the widely shared view that only expert- driven non- politicized work can ultimately hold states accountable for not upholding them. This approach has had significant success but comes up against the boundaries of states' political will and actual influence in implementing human rights. The creation of the Human Rights Council, intensifying states' prominence within the system, especially through the establishment of the Universal Periodic Review, was an advance met with initial resistance by academic and practitioner communities. This book questions the blunt critique of "politicization" as not nuanced enough to understand progress, through the lenses of the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council. These mechanisms are ideally located in the system to analyze the impact of politicization on the international human rights system. Depending on a political decision to be established and renewed, they are particularly sensitive to political factors. However, they are also held by independent experts. The scope of thematic mandates is universal preventing the application of bias associated with politically driven processes"
