Recherche
Drawing on interdisciplinary scholarship, in her new book, The Purchase of Human Rights (Oxford University Press, contract review), Professor Relis questions how the current proliferation of international human rights has shaped case processing systems at grassroots levels. She has conducted legal empirical research on international human rights violation cases of violence against women, processed in formal courts, lok adalats and quasi-legal non-state justice regimes (mahila panchayats and nari adalats) in eight states of India. Subsequent to several fieldwork trips, and supervising 8 teams of research assistants working in seven languages, the book includes data from over 400 interviews (with victims, accused, families, lawyers, mediators, arbitrators and judges), questionnaires and case hearing observations. The book examines how, if at all, international human rights laws and norms (e.g., CEDAW) have permeated the processing of these cases, comparing how receptive the different spaces of lower courts versus quasi-legal regimes are to claims made from the international sphere. The manuscript further examines the theoretical ideas informing these processes (e.g., norm diffusion theory, universalism versus cultural relativism, restorative justice, and feminist critiques of mainstream human rights paradigms) and how these ideas are understood by those on the ground.
Enseignement
Tamara Relis teaches courses in International Human Rights Law and in Global Conflict Resolution. Her first book, Perceptions in Litigation and Mediation: Lawyers, Defendants, Plaintiffs and Gendered Parties, based on her PhD dissertation, was published by Cambridge University Press (New York, 2009 & 2011 paperback). Her recent essay, Human Rights and Southern Realities, 33(2) Human Rights Quarterly 509-551 (May, 2011) provides a sample of her new book's data, findings and interview excerpts (see Parts I, III & IV).
