Beskrivning
This course enables you to critically analyse human rights work in East and South-East Asia. The course addresses human rights in the region from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating theories of international law with theories of social and political science and area studies. It is of particular interest to students interested in human rights work, international law, and global affairs.
This course equips you to critically analyse the problems and future prospects of human rights work in East and South-East Asia.
We focus on the cultural, social, economic and political factors that prevent or promote the protection for human rights in different societies in East and South-East Asia. You analyse and discuss differences and similarities with regard to problems and policies concerning human rights in the region, as well as the participation of different East and South-East Asian countries in the international system for the protection of human rights and in different rights instruments.
You study the relationship between international human rights legislation and national legislation and you are also introduced to local and regional debates about human rights and human rights work, focusing especially on the considerable differences between different states and NGOs with regard to human rights work and priorities.
Throughout the course, we apply an interdisciplinary approach to the study of human rights which is reflected in the teaching, the choice of topics and the course literature. You will study key texts in the international legislation on human rights but also integrate theories of international law with theories of social and political science and area studies.

International student?
Make your application in the First Admission Round at universityadmissions.se.
Application period October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.
First or Second Admission Round?
All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.
The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
