Reviews

'Eva Erman's recent book on studying global human rights institutions through a (modified) Habermasian version of discourse theory constitutes an innovative and thoughtful attempt to bridge the gap between the theoretical-normative and the empirical research on human rights in the discipline of political sciences.'
