NIAS Press Dialogue with North Korea?: Preconditions for
Book SynopsisThere is hardly another country as isolated and with such a bleak image as North Korea. It is portrayed in the Western media as a Hermit Kingdom ruled by an outdated, communist dictatorship whose clandestine nuclear programmes alarm its neighbours and which uses dreadful labour camps to control a population wracked by famine. The regime's poor track record on human rights is stressed time and again by both Western governments and international organizations. Prospects look bleak for any improvement in relations let alone the start of a dialogue on human rights. Offering a rare, nuanced analysis of the North Korean situation, this short study argues that not only is a constructive and fruitful dialogue on human rights possible but also it is desirable for both parties. New perspectives are provided on what is generally perceived about North Korea, its relationship to the international human rights regime, the rationales that underpin decision-making in international relations, and the perceptions and expectations of people occupying official positions in the DPRK bureaucracy. The authors also draw from concrete experiences to give some suggestions to how a dialogue could be established and in what specific areas it is realistic. Here they point to valuable lessons to be learned from the dialogue so far between North Korea and the UN Human Rights regime as well as from the experiences of the already established EU-China human rights dialogue.

NIAS Press Walking a Tightrope: Defending Human Rights in
Book SynopsisHis portrait still hangs there above the Gate of Heavenly Peace, overlooking Tiananmen Square - Mao Zedong, founder of the People's Republic of China and its Communist Party. As a leader, Mao took great measures to control the people. For decades, his word was law. When he died in 1976, he left a poor country in disarray and a fatigued and disillusioned population. The China his portrait overlooks today is different. It is a country on the path to the rule of law instead of rule of man. For today, despite perceptions in the West, it is actually possible for people in China to discuss human rights and to bring pressure to bear for improvements. And, by law, all Chinese enjoy an ever growing number of rights. This book describes eleven Chinese citizens striving to promote human rights in their country. They are not dissidents and none of them has ever been to jail. Common for them all is that they challenge the authorities in a way that they are listened to rather than repressed. They use the law. However, they all need to move in small steps forward, one step at a time, with the occasional step backwards. Working with human rights in China is still a delicate balance between making progress and incurring the wrath and mistrust of the authorities. It is like walking a tightrope.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Human Rights in China? What Rights? xiii 1. Democracy? Of Course! 1 Update: Forced out of local politics 24 2.

The Nordic Africa Institute Measuring Democracy and Human Rights in Southern
Book SynopsisAre there ways and means of measuring democracy and "good governance"? The contributions to this Discussion Paper present attempts to do this by means of surveys on democratic attitudes in Mozambique and Namibia respectively, as well as by exploring the degree of commitment to and violation of human rights in a comparative perspective in Namibia and South Africa. They illustrate attitudes by offering empirical evidence of the preferences and views of local people, as well as by examining the track record of a human rights culture. In doing so, by going beyond a level of theoretical analysis, they offer concrete evidence of attitudes prevalent among both individuals and state agencies in societies of Southern Africa.
