β¦ Synopsis
In Islam, Liberalism and Human Rights, Katerina Dalacoura explores the concept of human rights, and debate between understanding them as a simply universal norm, or a βWesternβ value, and therefore inappropriate and irrelevant for other cultures. She examines Islam's influence on the understanding of human rights in Muslim societies, and whether there is an inherent antithesis between Islam as a religion and the value of human rights.
