Human Rights Pragmatism: Problems of Structure and Agency
Jack Snyder revisits the arguments made in his recent book Human Rights for Pragmatists and reflects upon comments that he has received from discussants and other audiences. He argues that the human rights enterprise is now facing fierce pushback from illiberal strongmen and populists who counter-shame the liberal order as decadent, degenerate, and threatening to deeply rooted values. He reflects on how rights-based societies can recover a more accurate narrative of their past pragmatic successes, repair their tactical flaws, and withstand illiberal challenges.
