Description
"Francesca Klug tells the story of how the idea of rights has evolved from the late eighteenth century to the present day. Controversially, she traces three 'waves' of rights to suggest that the modern idea of human rights is best understood as a synthesis of the values of liberty, community and mutuality. She assesses how far these values are compatible with those of a New Labour government committed to a culture of duties as well as rights. And she examines the concrete implications of the HRA for the legal and political culture of the UK."--BOOK JACKET.
