International Associations at the Nexus of Globalization, Religion,
and Human Rights
By David V. Brewington
Religion and human rights are often analyzed in the contexts of
globalization, but the nexus in
which they intersect is rarely investigated. By utilizing data on
international nongovernmental
organizations (INGOs), I examine the religious and secular
characteristics of INGOs from 1800
to 1995, the global conditions in which human rights organizations
appear from 1839 through
1994, and the characteristics of how religious freedom advocates do
their work. Global civil
society undergoes a significant shift in the latter half of the
19th century, from a predominantly
religious population of organizations to a predominantly secular
population of organizations in
the space of 50 years. Global human rights organizing is
conditioned by the wider global civil
society and global legal framework in which it is situated, and
responds also to the global
economy, war, and global levels of democracy. Religious freedom
advocacy takes heterogeneous
forms and simultaneously universalizes and particularizes in its
efforts to secure liberty of
conscience.
