This book collects 10 state-of-the-art analyses prepared by Ph.D. students addressing human rights-related topics in their respective doctoral programmes. Departing from a variety of approaches from law, social sciences, psychology and anthropology, and often considering the benefit of interdisciplinarity, the literature reviews presented by these early career doctoral students critically address an heterogeneous set of core human rights-related themes, ranging from problems of discrimination, exclusion, and violence toward specific groups (children, women, homeless people, migrants, and minority groups in divided societies), to broader human rights concerns with respect to current global challenges such as those connected with environment degradation, development, the cyberspace, and the need to control private corporations.
