We should have been there all along as human rights are embedded in societies, communities, and social relations. His invitation is especially attractive, because he challenges us to take on such cutting-edge issues as global inequalities, environmental sustainability, and the social implications of climate change.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eJudith Blau, University of North Carolina\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough careful theoretical and pedagogic reflections, Mark Frezzo introduces us to the concepts of rights conditions, rights claims, rights effects, and rights bundles as a way to think sociologically about rights in the era of globalization.
