Abstract:

This paper explores the evolution of transnational human rights advocacy in the 1990s. Drawing on empirical data from research in Bangladesh, Mexico and the United States, the paper focuses on the emergence of economic and labor rights claims as central human rights concerns in a series of high-profile transnational advocacy campaigns. I highlight several types of strategic moves made by developing country-based activists who sought to position labor and economic rights claims as central human rights claims in the various cases. These unconventional moves, I argue, pushed a broader process of normative evolution that transcended the campaigns themselves – and enriches our understanding of the dynamics of transnational advocacy.
