This book argues that individual human rights are central — not marginal — to understanding contemporary world politics, from globalization to conflicts and “new wars.” Drawing on a “constitutive theory,” the author shows how global civil society and democratic states are shaped by practices of rights‑claims and civic membership. Frost explores the tensions between civilian rights and citizenship rights, examines how rights define political identity in civil society and state societies, and proposes that any adequate analysis of international relations and global ethics must begin with human rights.
