Human rights educationHuman rights education is an attempt to answer the following question: How can we contribute to the creation of a more equitable, respectful, peaceful, and just society for everyone globally? This book chapter discusses dominant discourses of globalisation, and human rights education globally. The book chapter discuss the changing and problematic relationships between the state, education, human rights and social justice in the global economy. Globalisation, economic, cultural, and social change over the last four decades have affected the nature of the discourse in human rights education. The chapter explores human rights education research and the relationship between human rights education and the state, against the background of globalisation, and economic, political, social, and cultural factors.
