human rights leadership: towards a research and practice agenda for challenging times
This working paper presents various leadership concepts, frameworks, historical lessons and strategic insights from the academic literature outside the field of human rights practice. This wider literature is vast, and the review presents that which seems most relevant and potentially useful to human rights defending.
The paper builds towards an integrated research and practice agenda for understanding and supporting human rights leadership. It also aims to serve as a reference point on leadership for human rights organisations, movements, practitioners and academics in the field.
