Bhuta Nehal (ed), Human Rights in Transition (Oxford University Press 2024)
At a time of intense polarisation about the value of human rights, this edited volume brings together
leading scholars in international law and international human rights to reflect upon the present, the
recent and distant past, and the future of human rights.
Human Rights in Transition combines rich theoretical reflections with practice-informed observa-
tions about human rights and their potential futures. The book eschews the polarised and one-sided
approach which can too easily dominate either side of the debate. Instead, drawing on deep learning
and a range of engagements with human rights institutions, the authors develop a prognosis for con-
tours of human rights law and politics, and its impacts, in the current conjuncture.
The book charts new ways to consider human rights in the concrete areas of specific rights such as
social and economic rights, institutional settings (the EU and the UN treaty bodies), and agendas,
namely feminism and climate change. The results are a very rich set of essays which delve deeply
into specific topics in human rights law and practice, and work outwards from a rigorous analysis of
the past and present, to an argument about how to think about the future.

Chang Wen-Chen and others (eds), Gender, Sexuality and Constitutionalism in Asia (Hart
Publishing 2024)
This book analyses the equal citizenship claims of women and sexual and gender diverse people
across several Asian jurisdictions. The volume examines the rich diversity of constitutional
responses to sex, gender and sexuality in the region from a comparative perspective. Leading com-
parative constitutional law scholars identify ‘opportunity structures’to explain the uneven advance-
ment of gender equality through constitutional litigation and consider a combination of variables
which shape the diverging trajectories of the jurisdictions in this study.
The authors also embed the relevant constitutional and legal developments in their historical, pol-
itical and social contexts. This deep contextual understanding of the relationship between sex,
gender, sexuality and constitutionalism greatly enriches the analysis. The case studies reflect a
variety of constitutional structures, institutional designs and contextual dynamics which may
advance or impede developments with respect to sex, gender and sexuality. As a whole, the chapters
further an understanding of the constitutional domain as a fruitful site for advancing gender equality
and the rights of sexual and gender diverse people.
