This timely book presents a practical framework for conceptualizing and analyzing human rights issues such as repression, compliance, and transitional justice in an increasingly fraught climate for human rights globally. Emerging and established experts advance quantitative and mixed-methods research, showcasing innovative ways of measuring and evaluating multifaceted concepts.

Chapters cover a broad range of salient topics including state repression, civil society activism, compliance with international law, and transitional justice. Emphasizing that rigorous research is driven by substance, not methods, the contributing authors explain how they measure concepts that are vital to human rights research. They showcase diverse forms of evidence in descriptive and analytical studies, as well as guidance for using cutting-edge techniques like machine learning and text analysis, charting a path for future empirical human rights research.

Innovations in Human Rights provides students and scholars with an essential toolkit they can incorporate into their learning, research, and teaching of human rights, international law, international organizations and research methods.
