(New York, NY) Radhika Balakrishnan, Ph.D., Professor of International Studies and Economics at Marymount Manhattan, has recently published a report, "Why MES with Human Rights? Integrating Macroeconomic Strategies with Human Rights." The report grew out of a series of meetings between human rights experts and macro-economists, sponsored by the Ford Foundation.
You can read Professor Balakrishnan's report here. It is available (or will be available) for review on the Web sites of several human rights organizations, including: the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs, International Development Economics Associates (IDEAs), the United States Human Rights Network, and the International Network for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
Professor Balakrishnan is the coordinator for the International Studies program at Marymount Manhattan. Having earned her Ph.D. in economics from Rutgers University, she also has worked as a program officer at the Ford Foundation. Her fields of research include gender and economic development, global inequality and labor issues. She is interested in the connection between global economic institutions and cross border organizing, and the relationship between changing conditions of work, gender dynamics and the global economy in addition to theology and ethics.
