520 _aThis book examines the emergence of a rights-based approach to development as a means to addressing social injustice, poverty and inequality and considers the extent to which it has been able to influence development thinking. The emergence of a rights-based approach has contributed to defining new agendas and perspectives, including 'non-Western' alternatives. However, as the book demonstrates, the rights agenda has not in fact moved policy and practice forwards towards delivery of wider access to development.
