    Determined to Reaffirm Faith in Fundamental Human Rights, in the Dignity and Worth of the Human Person, in the Equal Rights of M

    HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2000 determined to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the humanFREEDOM FROM DISCRIMINATION person, in FREEDOM FROM FEAR the equalFREEDOM rightsOF SPEECH of men and womenFREEDOM FROM WANTand of FREEDOM TO DEVELOP AND REALIZE ONE'S HUMAN POTENTIAL nations largeFREEDOM FROM INJUSTICEand AND VIOLATIONS small OF THE RULE OF LAW FREEDOM FOR DECENT WORK - WITHOUT EXPLOITATION. Human rights and human development share a common vision and a common purpose—to secure, for every human being, freedom, well-being and dignity. Divided by the cold war, the rights agenda and the development agenda followed parallel tracks. Now converging, their distinct strategies and traditions can bring new strength to the struggle for human freedom. Human Development Report 2000 looks at human rights as an intrinsic part of development—and at development as a means to realizing human rights. It shows how human rights bring principles of accountability and social justice to the process of human development. The 20th century’s advances in human rights have been remarkable. But gross violations of rights, both loud and silent, persist. This Report explores the new rights agenda for the 21st century— and proposes bold new approaches to political and economic governance that deliver social jus- tice. Stronger international action is called for, especially to support disadvantaged people and countries—and to offset growing global inequalities: • Promoting inclusive democracy as the form of government best suited to fulfilling all human rights—by protecting minorities, separating powers and ensuring public accountability. • Demanding the eradication of poverty not just as a development goal—but as a central challenge for human rights.

    FALL 2018 POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT NEWSLETTER SKIDMORE COLLEGE Dear Political Science Majors and Minors, I hope that you are enjoying the fall semester and that your midterms are going well. It is hard to believe that we are already heading into the second half of the semester! The start of this academic year has been bittersweet for our department. This fall marks the beginning of Professor Vac’s last year of teaching at Skidmore. He is has one of the liveliest intellects of the faculty and reads voraciously, making him a well-respected scholar and thoughtful teacher. During the past 32 years Professor Vacs has been a model of collegiali- ty. He strives to ensure that students and faculty are treated fairly and always kindly. Hannah Fishman has written a lovely piece on Professor Vacs’s academic career. I encourage you all to read it. As sadden as we are by Professor Vacs’s retire- ment, we are cheered by the thought of him on a Latin American beach! I am delighted to welcome three new faculty members to our department. Patrick Campbell and Ed Kammerer teach American politics and Rob L’Arivee teaches political philosophy. All three professors are replacing faculty who are ei- ther on sabbatical or have taken on administrative responsibilities. As you will quickly learn from reading their profiles, Pro- fessors Campbell, Kammerer, and L’Arivee are clever and interesting people. Don’t miss an opportunity to take a class with them! This semester’s newsletter includes our second crossword puzzle. Last spring’s crossword puzzle was a lot of fun for all and, so, we have a second puzzle.
