| Summary |
Current processes of globalization are challenging human rights and the attempts to institutionalize them in many ways. The question of the connection between religion and human rights is a crucial point here. The collected lectures and essays of this volume derive from the academic discourse between German and South African scholars that took place within the German-South African Year of Science 2012/13 |
