Human Rights and Development
The emergence of human rights within development and the evolving relationship was increasingly brought to bear upon key debates and policies over the last couple of decades.This book provides a critically informed, comprehensive and multi-disciplinary entry-level account of this engagement between human rights and development.It is theoretically and practically grounded and explores three over-arching questions and themes: First, why and how have human rights made this breakthrough?Second, is there agreement on human rights as a concept and how it is being used and understood within diverse development practices at global, national and local levels?Third, how can we gauge the impact of human rights based approaches upon development outcomes?The book concludes with what the future may hold for human rights and development.In-depth understanding of human rights as a development challenge and development as a human rights one, is presented and delineates the diverse responses and alternative critical approaches.Wide ranging in scope, it covers many examples of human rights within development, including global policy initiatives, and vulnerable groups, such as those living in poverty, socially excluded, people living with HIV/AIDS, residents of informal settlements, and human rights defenders. This textbook will be an essential resource for social science students, particularly in the fields of development studies, human rights and geography, as well as those interested in the intersection between law, human rights and social change.It should also appeal to practitioners in development and human rights.

Do political rights want security and political left want freedom?
It is not accurate to say that political rights want security and political left want freedom as a general rule. Both political ideologies value both security and freedom, but may prioritize them differently. Political rights often emphasize the importance of security and stability in society, while the political left may prioritize individual freedoms and social justice. Ultimately, both sides seek a balance between security and freedom in order to create a just and prosperous society.

Has technology made it easier or harder to advance human rights?
Technology has made it both easier and harder to advance human rights. On one hand, technology has allowed for greater access to information and communication, making it easier for people to organize and advocate for their rights. Social media and digital platforms have also amplified the voices of marginalized communities and brought attention to human rights issues. On the other hand, technology has also been used to surveil and suppress dissent, and has facilitated new forms of human rights abuses, such as online harassment and cyber attacks. Overall, technology has presented both opportunities and challenges in the advancement of human rights.

Children’s Rights and Children’s Development: An Integrated Approach
Offers an assessment of how children’s rights take shape and are realized at various stages of child development and, in turn, can and should inform law and policyChildren’s rights and child development frameworks are critical to understanding children’s lived experiences, advancing child wellbeing, and implementing children’s rights.However, research in the two fields has proceeded largely on separate tracks.Children’s Rights and Child Development seeks to forge opportunities to deepen understanding about children’s rights in light of the scientific research on child development to inform fresh perspectives on research, law, and policy affecting children. Drawing on existing literature, studies, and research, Children’s Rights and Child Development provides an in-depth examination of the fundamental stages in childhood development—early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence.The book goes beyond the often very general language in law and policies that considers children as a homogenous group.It delineates how the rights of young people can be understood at each stage of development and how this can, and should, inform law and policy on children’s rights. Integrating children’s perspectives with the expertise from leading scholars in children’s rights and child development, Todres and Kilkelly reveal how an integrated approach to child rights and child development can be most impactful to child advocacy.This book is essential reading for anyone interested in child advocacy, offering insight into how the rights of young people can be understood at different stages of development, in a developmentally appropriate and rights compliant manner.

The European Union and Global Development : A Rights-based Development Policy?
This book systematically analyses the EU’s commitment to a human rights-based approach to development through the lens of global justice theory.It identifies limits to the EU’s approach and discusses how standardised policies, particularly in the case of human rights sanctions, may be perceived as neo-colonially intrusive and can come at the cost of recognizing the experiences and interests of vulnerable groups and allowing for partner countries’ democratic ownership of their own development trajectory.Engaging with primary sources including official documents, reports, and 45 semi-structured interviews with EU and member state officials, the book also presents a novel explanation for why the EU, at times, steps out of its commitment to rights-based development and chooses differentiated foreign policy responses to similar situations.This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of EU foreign policy, EU development policy human rights, and international relations as well as policy practitioners working in the fields of development, human rights and democracy promotion.

How do fundamental rights differ from human rights?
Fundamental rights are specific rights that are recognized and protected by a country's constitution or laws, and they are typically enforceable through legal means within that country. On the other hand, human rights are universal rights that are inherent to all human beings, regardless of their nationality or citizenship, and they are often recognized and protected by international agreements and treaties. While fundamental rights are specific to the legal framework of a particular country, human rights are considered to be universal and apply to all individuals worldwide. Additionally, fundamental rights may vary from country to country, while human rights are meant to be consistent and applicable to everyone.

Are rights cruel?
Rights themselves are not inherently cruel. In fact, they are designed to protect individuals from cruelty and ensure their well-being. However, the way in which rights are upheld or violated by individuals or institutions can certainly be cruel. When rights are denied or abused, it can lead to suffering and injustice. Therefore, the concept of rights is not cruel, but the actions of those who violate or ignore them can be.

What is the difference between civil engineering and construction engineering with a focus on project management?
Civil engineering focuses on the design and construction of infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and buildings, while construction engineering focuses on the actual construction process and management of construction projects. Project management in civil engineering involves overseeing the planning, budgeting, and scheduling of civil engineering projects, while project management in construction engineering involves coordinating the construction process, managing resources, and ensuring that projects are completed on time and within budget. Both fields require a strong understanding of engineering principles and construction techniques, but civil engineering focuses more on the design and planning phase, while construction engineering focuses on the execution and management of construction projects.

What is the difference between human rights and civil rights?
Human rights are rights that are inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, nationality, gender, religion, or any other status. They include the right to life, liberty, and security, as well as freedom from discrimination, torture, and slavery. Civil rights, on the other hand, are rights that are granted to individuals within a specific country or jurisdiction. They often focus on issues of equality and non-discrimination in areas such as employment, housing, and education. While human rights are universal and apply to all people, civil rights are specific to the laws and regulations of a particular society.
