Human Rights Perspective and Development Discourse: An Exploratory Note on Intellectual Possibilities towards Relation Building

Abstract

This paper seeks to unravel some of the tangled threads of contemporary rights talks. For some, the grounding of rights-based approaches in human rights perspective makes them distinctively different to the areas of development discourses. Is there any real difference between these two in practice or not? Thus, the paper tries to explore some of the intellectual possibilities which reflect on the relationship of the human rights perspective and development discourse. Through this paper some areas like Evolution of the Idea of Rights within the Humanizing Parameters, The Generations of Rights within Humanising Parameters and the Relational Experience of Human Rights Perspective and Development Discourse are generally highlighted. .
