Her Through a telling analysis of the tensions between agency and structure in social theory, she offers an overview of such issues as torture, citizenship, migration, culture and cosmopolitanism. A major contribution to the sociology of human rights." - Bryan S. Turner, The Graduate Center, The City University of New York, USA
