"It is a special value of his work that it also pays special attention to the relevant historical, religious, cultural, and political backgrounds which shaped the human rights diplomacy of the given regions. His more than two decades of multilateral human rights diplomacy experience is well seen in the precise analytical approach Ambassador Lakatos follows during the entire book, providing insights for those who are interested in the "secrets" of multilateral diplomacy." -Gianni Buquicchio, President of the Venice Commission "Lakatos demonstrates that government claims of "cultural particularities" and "traditional values" in reality most often seek to mask the suppression of rights at home. Ruling elites who abuse rights to maintain their grip on power fear a strong international system which could endanger their position. Lakatos concludes optimistically that the slow but inexorable democratization process worldwide will lead to more states which respect rights at the national level who will in turn strengthen the global enforcement system." -Reed Brody, Human Rights Lawyer "This work by Dr Lakatos is an important contribution to the work of diplomatic practitioners, academics, and other policymakers, and invaluable to those keen to get a perspective of how countries behave within the realm of international relations, in balancing the need to address genuine human rights concerns from a global perspective, while at the same time allowing time and space domestically to nurture the presented values." -Javed Faizal, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Republic of Maldives This book provides a comprehensive picture of the human rights diplomacy of the sub-Saharan African states, Asian states, Muslim states, the European Union, and the Latin American and Caribbean states. The book is based on the assumption that the religious and cultural norms of all important civilizations/cultures/religions can be reconciled, within certain limits, with the international human rights standards. The book explodes the myth that the UN Human Rights Council has become a platform for a "clash of civilizations". Dr. István Lakatos is a carrier diplomat since 1993, a former human rights ambassador. He holds an LLM and a PhD in law and an MA in IR. He served in Geneva at the Hungarian UN Mission and at the Council of Europe Mission to the UN. Presently, he is a Senior Adviser to the Ministry of Justice, Human and Minority Rights of Montenegro.

"The G20 brings together the most important global actors. The club sharpens the international development agenda. They all use development cooperation as a soft power. That is why international development is always used as an important instrumental approach to foreign policy. This timely reader is a crucial contribution to better understanding the G20 in a highly dynamic and disruptive global context." -Stephan Klingebiel, Chair of the Research Programme "International and Transnational Cooperation" of the German Development Institute "This edited work, connecting the role of the G20 with the changing development landscape, is valuable in stretching our traditional understanding of these dynamics. Originally elevated as a crisis committee in the context of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the G20 has struggled to widen its agenda. As well mobilized by Emel Parlar Dal, the collection demonstrates both the will and skill of select non-Western countries within the G20 to push the privileging of South-South development cooperation and an alternative policy consensus more generally. Although facing some structural limitations, the book is testimony to the expansion of agency in an increasingly multi-polar world that needs to be considered by both scholars and practitioners." -Andrew F. Cooper, University Research Chair, Department of Political Science, and Professor, the Balsillie School of International Affairs, University of Waterloo This book aims to explore G20 rising powers' increasing role in international development from a comprehensive perspective. The first part focuses on the historical development and current dynamics of (G20) rising powers' evolving actorness in international development to assess their main motivations. The second part examines the main contributions, trends and limits of G20 rising powers in South-South Cooperation. The third part analyses the linkage between G20 rising powers' active involvement in international development and their foreign policies. Emel Parlar Dal is Professor at Marmara University's Department of International Relations. She is the Jean Monnet Chair on the EU and Rising Powers (2020-2023) and the director of JM Center of Excellence on the EU's sustainability in Global Governance (2022-2025).

While the notion of young people as individuals worthy or capable of having rights is of relatively recent origin, over the past several decades there has been a substantial increase in both social and political commitment to children’s rights as well as a tendency to grant young people some of the rights that were typically accorded only to adults. In addition, there has been a noticeable shift in orientation from a focus on children’s protection and provision to an emphasis on children’s participation and self-determination.With contributions from a wide range of international scholars, the Handbook of Children’s Rights brings together research, theory, and practice from diverse perspectives on children’s rights. This volume constitutes a comprehensive treatment of critical perspectives concerning children’s rights in their various forms. Its contributions address some of the major scholarly tensions and policy debates comprising the current discourse on children’s rights, including the best interests of the child, evolving capacities of the child, states’ rights versus children’s rights, rights of children versus parental or family rights, children as citizens, children’s rights versus children’s responsibilities, and balancing protection and participation. In addition to its multidisciplinary focus, the handbook includes perspectives from social science domains in which children’s rights scholarship has evolved largely independently due to distinct and seemingly competing assumptions and disciplinary approaches (e.g., childhood studies, developmental psychology, sociology of childhood, anthropology, and political science). The handbook also brings together diverse methodological approaches to the study of children’s rights, including both quantitative and qualitative perspectives, and policy analysis.This comprehensive, cosmopolitan, and timely volume serves as an important reference for both scholarly and policy-driven interest in the voices and perspectives of children and youth.

This textbook is intended to be used in an upper-level international environmental issues class as part of the American Environmental Studies and Sciences book series. This class is commonly taught at both the undergraduate and graduate level as part of either an environmental studies program, a political science program, or within a policy track of an environmental science program. Given the length of time that negotiations have occurred, a new generation of students and practitioners will need to understand the complex processes that produced many of our environmental treaties. The majority of the students in environmental studies do not have a background in political science. Moving from a political science approach to an interdisciplinary approach will benefit the students by making the material more accessible. As these fields continue to grow and develop, regulatory compliance becomes increasingly important. Thus, this book is aimed at adding a business and industry perspective to this field where appropriate.
