We are very grateful to our contributors for their excellent work and their patience, and to Alex Flach, Natasha Flemming, Dhanuj S. Nair, and their team at Oxford University Press for their care in seeing the book through to publication. We would also like to thank the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council for funding a set of workshops on human rights, from which some of these papers emerged. Chapter 11, Joseph Raz’s ‘Human Rights in the Emerging World Order’, is reprinted from Transnational Legal Theory, 1 (2010), 31–47. Chapter 31, James Griffin’s ‘The Relativity and Ethnocentricity of Human Rights’, first appeared as A?chapter 7 of his On Human Rights (Oxford University Press, 2008). We thank the publishers for permission to reprint this material.
