'This timely collection tracks legal, cultural, political and institutional developments concerning human rights and Asia over the last decade, and, crucially, helps to move the Asia/human rights discourse beyond the Asian values debate. Covering both country-specific and thematic analyses, it will be a key addition to the library of all who are interested in the promotion and protection of human rights.' -- Sarah Joseph, Monash University, Australia 'Asia - in all its robust variety - is a hotbed of human rights controversy and conflict. It also harbours great potential and promise to improve the standards of human rights enjoyed by its peoples. This tremendously readable and insightful collection of essays shirks neither perspective, employing an impressive array of political, economic, cultural and legal arguments as to how to exploit the good and counteract the bad.' -- David Kinley, University of Sydney, Australia
