Mainstreaming Human Rights: Publishing Trends in Political Science

In: PS: political science & politics, Band 42, Heft 1, S. 161-166

Abstract

ABSTRACTHuman rights issues are closely connected to a range of political
processes, from democracy and conflict resolution to judicial
accountability and terrorism. Despite the dramatic growth of the
human rights field in recent years, however, it remains unclear how
much the subject has influenced political science scholarship. I
assess this question by examining broad publishing trends, namely
human rights articles in the discipline's leading journals.
