Human Rights and Development in the New Millennium: Towards a Theory of Change: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Human Rights and Development in the New Millennium: Towards a Theory of Change" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
In recent years human rights have assumed a central position in the discourse surrounding international development, while human rights agencies have begun to more systematically address economic and social rights. This edited volume brings together distinguished scholars to explore the merging of human rights and development agendas at local, national and international levels. They examine how this merging affects organisational change, operational change and the role of relevant actors in bringing about change. With a focus on practice and policy rather than pure theory, the volume also addresses broader questions such as what human rights and development can learn from one another, and whether the connections between the two fields are increasing or declining.The book is structured in three sections:Part I looks at approaches that combine human rights and development, including chapters on drivers of change; indicators; donor; and legal empowerment of the poor.Part II focuses on organisational contexts and includes chapters on the UN at the country level; EU development cooperation; PLANs childrens rights-based approach; and ActionAids human rights-based approach.Part III examines country contexts, including chapters on the ILO in various settings; the Congo; Ethiopia; and South Africa.Human Rights and Development in the new Millennium: Towards a Theory of Change will be of strong interest to students and scholars of human rights, development studies, political science and economics.

Human Rights and Development in the New Millennium
In recent years human rights has assumed a central position in the discourse surrounding international development, while human rights agencies have begun to more systematically address economic and social rights. This edited volume brings together distinguished scholars to explore the merging of human rights and development agendas at local, national and international levels. They examine how this merging affects organisational change, operational change, and the role of relevant actors in bringing about change. With a focus on practice and policy rather than pure theory, the volume also addresses broader questions such as what human rights and development can learn from one another, and whether the connections between the two fields are increasing or declining.
The book is structured in three parts:
- Part I looks at approaches that combine human rights and development, including chapters on drivers of change; indicators; donors; and legal empowerment of the poor.
- Part II focuses on organisational contexts and includes chapters on the UN at the country level; EU development cooperation; PLANs childrens rights-based approach; and ActionAids human rights-based approach.
- Part III examines country contexts, including chapters on the ILO in various settings; the Congo; Ethiopia; and South Africa.
Human Rights and Development in the New Millennium will be of strong interest to students and scholars of human rights, development studies, political science and economics.

COST the acronym for European Cooperation in Science and Technology is the oldest and widest European intergovernmental network for cooperation in research. Established by the Ministerial Conference in November 1971, COST is presently used by the scientific communities of 36 European countries to cooperate in common research projects supported by national funds.
The funds provided by COST less than 1% of the total value of the projects support the COST cooperation networks (COST Actions) through which, with EUR 30 million per year, more than 30 000 European scientists are involved in research having a total value which exceeds EUR 2 billion per year. This is the financial worth of the European added value which COST achieves.
A bottom up approach (the initiative of launching a COST Action comes from the European scientists themselves), la carte participation (only countries interested in the Action participate), equality of access (participation is open also to the scientific communities of countries not belonging to the European Union) and flexible structure (easy implementation and light management of the research initiatives) are the main characteristics of COST.
As precursor of advanced multidisciplinary research COST has a very important role for the realisation of the European Research Area (ERA) anticipating and complementing the activities of the Framework Programmes, constituting a bridge towards the scientific communities of emerging countries, increasing the mobility of researchers across Europe and fostering the establishment of Networks of Excellence in many key scientific domains such as: Biomedicine and Molecular Biosciences; Food and Agriculture; Forests, their Products and Services; Materials, Physical and Nanosciences; Chemistry and Molecular Sciences and Technologies; Earth System Science and Environmental Management; Information and Communication Technologies; Transport and Urban Development; Individuals, Societies, Cultures and Health. It covers basic and more applied research and also addresses issues of pre-normative nature or of societal importance.
