Reseña del editor:

· A practical handbook for activists, grassroots, and advocacy groups
· Covers constituency building and the theory behind the practice
· “a significant contribution to the growing international literature on citizen participation and advocacy A New Weave has been needed for a long time.”—John Gaventa, Institute of Development Studies.

This book breaks down the boxes separating human rights, rule of law, development, and governance, and creates an integrated approach to rights-based political empowerment. It combines concrete and practical action 'steps' with a sound theoretical foundation to help users understand the process of advocacy planning and implementation.

Building on the authors' fifty years of combined experiences in advocacy, gender, human rights, education, and social change, this “action guide” gathers insights from across the world—including community development, legal rights education, and campaign advocacy. It includes a special training and capacity-building appendix that provides workshop and planning ideas for different users and needs.
