Rights-Based Approaches to Development explores the impact of the shift from a market-based to a rights-based framework for development efforts. Drawing on their own experiences, the contributors discuss current debates, theoretical and practical concerns and achievements, and larger implications about poverty and the relationship between citizens and the state.
Sam Hickey lectures on international development at the Institute for Development Policy and Management (IDPM) at the University of Manchester. Diana Mitlin is a social development specialist at IDPM.
