International Perspective on Indigenous Religious Rights
What is the status of indigenous religious rights in the world today? Despite important legal advances in the protection of indigenous religious beliefs and practices at the international and national levels, there are still many obstacles to the full implementation of these provisions.

The Gadamerian Mind
Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900–2002) is one of the most important philosophers of the post-1945 era. His name has become all but synonymous with the philosophical study of hermeneutics, the field concerned with theories of understanding and interpretation and laid out in his landmark book Truth and Method.

The Gadamerian Mind is a major survey of the fundamental aspects of Gadamer’s thought, with contributions from leading scholars of Gadamer and hermeneutics from around the world. 38 chapters are divided into six cl...
Access and Benefit Sharing of Genetic Resources, Information and Traditional Knowledge
Addressing the management of genetic resources, this book offers a new assessment of the contemporary Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) regime. Debates about ABS have moved on. The initial focus on the legal obligations established by international agreements like the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity and the form of obligations for collecting physical biological materials have now shifted into a far more complex series of disputes and challenges about the ways ABS should be implemented and enforced. These now cover a wide range of issues, including: digital sequence information, the repatriation of resources, technology transfer, traditional knowledge and cultural expressions...
The United Nations' Declaration on Peasants' Rights

The book unfolds the impact of the D...

Le droit à la ville
Le droit à la ville a été créé par le philosophe et sociologue français, Henri Lefebvre, en 1968, afin de répondre aux maux des sociétés urbaines, notamment marquées par l'exclusion, des logements indignes, l'absence de lieux conviviaux et d'espaces verts et par un défaut de participation. Inspirée des travaux d'Henri Lefebvre et des apports de la société civile et des chercheurs sur le sujet, la présente analyse met en lumière la dimension sociale des droits humains ainsi que l'exigence de participation des habitants dans le façonnement de leur ville.
