In their Capability approach the individual, with the entitlement to human rights and capabilities, gained the central position to which previous paradigms had been oblivious. The relationship between human rights and development has shifted from strong interrelation to coexistence... (More)
Development in the sense that we currently use the term has existed since the post-war period and its orthodoxy has changed significantly in the course of time. With economic growth as a first objective, development suffered a crisis in the 1980/1990’s, in view of the lack of concrete results and the increase in poverty at a world level. Human development emerged as a re-orientation in development thanks to the contributions of Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum. In their Capability approach the individual, with the entitlement to human rights and capabilities, gained the central position to which previous paradigms had been oblivious. The relationship between human rights and development has shifted from strong interrelation to coexistence without contact. Human development has now shifted back to a strong recognition of the significance of a human rights perspective. (Less)
