- Comparative Studies and the Right to Health
- The right to health has been acknowledged as one of the most important human rights for economic and social development, but few efforts have been made to assess the problems and prospects for the realization of this right across national health systems. This book examines, in comparative perspective, how health and the right to health have been dealt with in six countries: the Philippines, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India, Ghana, and Peru.

- Are Women Human?
- More than half a century after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights defined what a human being is and is entitled to, Catharine MacKinnon asks: Are women human yet? She exposes the consequences and significance of the systematic maltreatment of women and its systemic condonation as she points toward fresh ways of targeting its toxic orthodoxies. A critique of the transnational status quo that also envisions the transforming possibilities of human rights, this bracing book makes us look as never before at an ongoing war too long undeclared.
