Asia, Enforceable Benevolence and the Future of Human Rights
What happens to human rights discourse in Asia will be of critical importance to the future of the whole human rights project. There are at least three possible scenarios: acceptance, rejection and transformation. Majority western opinion hopes for the first but expects the second. This article argues for the third, transformation. Central to the argument is the construction of an ideal type - enforceable benevolence - of a distinctively Asian hu…

Globalisation, Human Rights and Labour Law in Pacific Asia
Anthony Woodiwiss's pathbreaking book was the first substantive contribution to a sociology of human rights. In it, he takes up the question of whether so-called Asian values are compatible with human rights discourse and argues against human rights issues being the major obstacle to East-West co-operation. Dr Woodiwiss's sociological and post-structuralist approach to the concept of rights, and his incorporation of the transnational dimension in…

Against 'modernity
In the course of a critical analysis of some of the writings of Jurgen Habermas, Anthony Giddens,uart Hall, Steven Crook et al. and Zygmunt Bauman, the paper arugues that the term ‘modernity’ should have no place in the general sociological vocabulary.

Anthony Woodiwiss traces the development of Japanese labour law from the middle…

The discourses of production (part I)∗
This part develops the author's previous effort to produce a Marxist theorisation of the role of legal discourse in democratic capitalist societies that properly acknowledges its ‘relative autonomy’. The paper proceeds by way of a critique of earlier efforts to theorise the non-economic dimensions of productions. It ends with an attempt to theorise the discursive dimension of production so that the effects of the law in the production process may…
