Synopsis
To what extent are underlying social, economic, and political
causes of human rights violations in the Middle East unique to the
region and conversely, to what extent are the apparent or real
features of such uniqueness a function of contemporary
manifestations of Orientalism and Islamophobia? What does the
international human rights framework offer Middle Eastern
countries? In what ways does it foster local efforts to improve
human rights in the Middle East and in what ways does its baggage
of imperialism, neo-imperialisms, power relations, and
appropriations of human rights discourses by governments pursuing
their own geo-political interests, damage such local and authentic
efforts? In addressing these questions, the authors provide a
systematic analysis of looking beyond the abuses of human rights in
the Middle East with a view toward (1) problematizing traditional
doctrinal thinking and concepts in the region; (2) ascertaining
comparative and historical roots of human rights abuses in the
Middle East, and (3) developing strategies for improving human
rights conditions of the vast majority of people more generally and
those of minorities and marginal communities more particularly.
