This session examines the human rights approach to development in the Global South. It aims to deepen the dialogue between the sociology of human rights and the sociology of development. Accordingly, it places particular emphasis on a series of questions: What is the meaning of UN's "right to development"? How have state-level policymakers implemented the right? How have social movements and NGOs interpreted the right?
