Increasingly, an evolving rights enunciation and implementation process is taking place outside of the international and national bodies designated to monitor and implement human rights. Local community members and grassroots collectivities, often assisted by NGOs, are developing innovative approaches to human rights implementation. This volume highlights some of the inspirational approaches by people at the grassroots level, as well as positive strategies undertaken by corporations. Articles include the bottom-up participatory approach used by Filipino fisherfolk in their struggle for subsistence; local government initiatives in Korea and China that have assisted in the progressive implementation of economic and social rights; "cultural mediation" strategies by the Sisters in Islam who work to advance women's rights and status in Malaysia; and Reebok's "soccer ball" initiative.

Human Rights Dialogue promotes a global discussion of
human rights ideas and practices by presenting firsthand
accounts of human rights issues as they arise within specific
real-life contexts. In so doing, it helps to clarify the significant and ongoing evolution that is taking
place within the human rights movement to make the
human rights framework more relevant and effective in
addressing the social, economic, and political challenges
of the twenty-first century.
The entire publication is online, or you may purchase individual print
copies.
Series One (1993–1998)examines all sides of the Asian values debate—the argument that Asian
cultural values imply different human rights standards
and priorities from those in the West.
Series Two(2000–2005)addresses the problem of the
“human rights box”—the constraints that have enabled
the human rights framework to gain currency among
elites while limiting its advance among the most vulnerable.
Specifically, the essays aim to locate the barriers to
greater public legitimacy of human rights and to demonstrate
how those barriers can be overcome.
