Book / (In)Equality and human rights in times of global governance
The book explores the deepening of inequality, the erosion of human rights, and the rise of undemocratic regimes in the modern world, which is characterized by multiple crises: climate, migration, health, economic, media, military, and the crisis of democratic institutions. Through the lens of crises and (in)equality, it examines some of the most urgent social problems and processes: crisis politics as a contemporary form of governance, the rise of populism, the role and functioning of the media amidst the increase of authoritarianism, the operation of the rule of law in cases such as regulations to control epidemics, the deregulation of labor protections and the return of migrants, structural issues in institutional care for the elderly, and the outsourcing of care work. Drawing on research data and analysis, it consistently highlights human rights violations, marginalization, and practices of institutional violence, while also opening perspectives for new beginnings. The book reflects the work of researchers at the Peace Institute, an interdisciplinary team studying political science, communication, anthropology, political philosophy, sociology, and law. The authors provide a broad and diverse view of the complex realities we face today.
