14) Executive Director / Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, Harvard
University / Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
THE CENTER:
The Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, John F. Kennedy School of
Government: The Center is a research, teaching and training program that
critically examines the policies and actions of governments, international
organizations, non-governmental organizations, and other actors that affect
the realization of human rights around the world. The Center was formally
launched in June of 1999 through a gift from Kennedy School alumnus Gregory
Carr.
The yawning gap between the apparent attractiveness of human rights ideals
and their realization has prompted the Center to focus on the tools and
techniques for realizing existing norms. The next stage of human rights
research also requires broadening into new areas of inquiry. The Center
focuses on ways in which human rights policy issues intersect with other
concerns such as military intervention, the role of non-governmental
organizations, domestic politics, and the development of norms. Working
effectively at the intersection of human rights and other disciplines also
requires forging new relationships with those who are only just beginning to
grapple with the human rights implications of their work, including
multinational corporations, Internet entrepreneurs, public health
professionals, political scientists, lawyers, military leaders, journalists,
and development economists. As an independent research center, it offers a
forum in which diverse views about human rights can be considered. The
Center draws new voices to the table, thereby extending and deepening the
human rights dialogue.
The Carr Center's location in a school of public policy allows it to draw
upon a range of disciplines (e.g. international security, American
government, law, and economics) and the case-based analytic approach for
which the Kennedy School is known. The Center is developing programs that
empirically and analytically address central issues in human rights policy
and practice. For more information about the Center visit
