Global Campus Human Rights Journal
The Global Campus Human Rights Journal (GCHRJ) is established as a peer-reviewed bi-annual publication dedicated to serving as a forum for rigorous scholarly analysis and critical commentary in the fields of human rights and democratisation at the local, national, regional and global levels. We particularly encourage multi- and inter-disciplinary perspectives and a range of methodological approaches. GCHRJ also aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration between stakeholders, including academics, activists in human rights and democratisation, NGOs and civil society. GCHRJ is an open access journal published under the auspices of the Global Campus of Human Rights and supported financially by the European Union.
Awarded Masters’ Theses
Every year the regional master’s programmes also select the best master thesis of the previous academic year that is published online as part of the GC publications. The selected seven GC master theses cover a range of different international human rights topics and challenges. Adding to the GC master theses, are selections of Master’s theses which most Programmes award on a yearly basis (e.g. E.MA Awarded theses).
FRAME Reports
The reports constitute the chief result of the work of over a hundred of scholars gathered under the umbrella of FRAME project researching the means to foster human rights among European policies. FRAME was a large-scale, collaborative research project (2013-2017) funded under the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) coordinated by the Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies and conducted by 19 research institutes from around the world.
European Human Rights Yearbook
The European Yearbook on Human Rights adopts a holistic, critical perspective on recent developments in the area of human rights, particularly in Europe. It contains extensive sections on the three main organisations charged with securing human rights in Europe: EU, Council of Europe and OSCE. The Yearbook also typically addresses the role of civil society in human rights protection and covers a broad range of other multidisciplinary topics. The impressive array of authors – academics and diplomats, practitioners and human rights experts – makes the Yearbook essential reading for anyone interested in human rights in Europe and beyond.
Repository
The Global Campus Open Knowledge Repository is a digital service that collects, preserves, and distributes all digital materials resulting from the rich and varied production of the Global Campus of Human Rights. It is an ever-growing collection which aims to give visibility to our research outputs, educational content, and multimedia materials; sustain open access for knowledge transfer; and foster communication within and beyond academia.
