Brave New World? Human Rights in the Era of Globalisation by Paul O'Connell :: SSRN: "This chapter begins by setting out the “promise of globalisation”, that is to say the purported benefits for human rights from the process of globalisation, as a starting point for the broader discussion which will follow. We then take one step back, as it were, to get a clearer analytical understanding of what exactly “globalisation” is, by examining alternative approaches to defining globalisation. Then, with the benefit of greater definitional clarity, the remainder of the chapter is devoted to a consideration of the actual impact which globalisation has had on human rights to date; before then drawing some conclusions as to the potential long-term implications of globalisation for human rights, and the obstacles and opportunities which globalisation presents for the realisation of human rights."?
