The new issue contains a diverse suite of articles — Jessica Whyte’s fascinating engagement with the theme of Robinson Crusoe in debates around the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, an example with a rich earlier philosophical history; Johanna Siméant’s probing sociological examination of the rise of “advocacy” in international affairs; and Peter Slezkine’s breakthrough account of the origins of Human Rights Watch. They are joined by Greg Girard’s photo essay “Phantom Shanghai” and the regular essay reviews, including Laleh Khalili’s fabulous reading of recent books on counterinsurgent warfare and Patrick W. Kelly’s historiographical digest of work on Latin America and human rights.TABLE OF CONTENTSThe Fortunes of Natural Man: Robinson Crusoe, Political Economy, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rightsby Jessica WhyteInterpreting the Rise of International "Advocacy"by Johanna SiméantFrom Helsinki to Human Rights Watch: How an American Cold War Monitoring Group Became an International Human Rights Institutionby Peter SlezkineShanghai as a City of Juxtapositions by Jeffrey WasserstromInterview with Greg Girard by Greg Girard, Jeffrey WasserstromPhantom Shanghai by Greg GirardBeyond Sticks and Carrots: Local Agency in Counterinsurgency by Roel FrakkingScholar, Pope, Soldier, Spy by Laleh KhaliliOn the Poverty and Possibility of Human Rights in Latin American Historyby Patrick William Kelly
