This thought-provoking work explores the multifaceted relationship between development and human rights, highlighting the critical role that legal, political, and economic dimensions play in this interplay. With contributions from esteemed scholars and practitioners, the book delves into various perspectives on what it means to uphold development as a fundamental human right.
