About this book
The Influence of Global Ideas on Environmentalism and Human Rights questions the dominant narrative of World Society related research as a positive influence of global ideas on various outcomes. Hadler demonstrates the complexity of this issue through empirical analyses revealing mixed trends in attitudes and behaviors from around the world.
This book will be of interest to academics seeking to critically engage with World Society theory through two of its core topics: human rights and environmentalism.
