The Nordic Journal of Human Rights invites submissions of papers presenting innovative scholarship analysing the multiple challenges facing the international human rights project amid shifting global power relations in contemporary world politics and seeking to address issues such as:
- What role can human rights play as global power relations evolve and the liberal hegemony of the post-Cold War era is challenged by shifting power dynamics and competing visions of order?
- How are international human rights institutions – and the actors within them – adapting to geopolitical and normative transformations?
- How can we distinguish between the use and abuse of human rights claims in an increasingly plural global landscape?
- How do human rights defenders and policymakers need to rethink strategies, concepts, and methodologies to confront the erosion of democracy, ongoing armed conflicts, or the evolving conditions for accountability and justice?
The journal takes a multi-disciplinary approach to human rights as legal, political, and social practice. We publish high-quality scholarship analysing the past, present and future of human rights from a variety of theoretical and methodological viewpoints.
