Overview
"The Right to Development (RTD), a concept that emerged in the 1970s, is one of the most debated and contentious issues in international relations. RTD builds on the rights based approach to development, seeking to integrate the norms and principles of human rights with policies and plans to promote development. Despite its importance for the world's poor and dispossessed, a great deal of definitional confusion still surrounds the concept." This primer introduces the concept of RTD as well as discusses its practical application in the Indian setting. Providing a comprehensive, lucid and innovative synthesis of current thinking on RTD, this book will be of considerable interest to human rights activists, government departments and planning agencies, and non-governmental organisations working in the fields of development and/or human rights, while being of equal interest to researchers in the fields of development human rights and law.Book Details
