    Reformulating human rights from an indigenous perspective: embedding the San views on property rights

    The dominant human rights conceptualisation as reflected in the international human rights corpus has been questioned ever since the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Debates about their foundations, ideological bias as well as on the controversy over universalism and relativism have rendered their content, nature and value problematic. Against that background, this dissertation examines the dominant international human rights grammar from a decolonial perspective and Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL). Seeking to expand the mainstream human rights discourse with elements from non-Western-centric epistemologies, the focus is placed on the San indigenous peoples of Southern Africa in order to advance an alternative conceptualisation of the right to property. In order to do so, this thesis explores the epistemological grounds of human rights and the conceptual underpinnings of their normative principles, seeking to substantiate the claim that human rights are Western centric; the embodiment of a secular, rational and anthropocentric worldview. The need for an alternative human rights' formulation is thus examined and justified in order to broaden the dominant hegemonic human rights conceptualisation from an indigenous perspective. Property paradigms and land conceptualisations under Western legal regimes and the San world-views are consequently analysed. Aiming at deconstructing ongoing epistemic asymmetries and coloniality in the legal domain, the conceptual basis for a concrete proposal stemming from the collective ethos of the San and their understanding of land and property is presented. An alternative to the conceptualisation of the liberal right to property is therefore advanced on the basis of aspects such as communality, mutual dependence and obligations, egalitarianism, sharing, redistribution, reciprocity and earth's boundaries. It is based on these premises that property, ownership and uses of land could be reformulated beyond their economic significance and materiality, laying down the foundations for a different understanding of property that could transform and enrich the hegemonic human rights' discourse with an alternative conceptualisation of such a right.

    Sport for development and peace
    (Universidad de Deusto, 2021-12-17) Herasimovich, Volha; Alzua Sorzabal, Aurkene; Facultad de Ciencias Sociales y Humanas; Programa de Doctorado en Ocio, Cultura y Comunicación para el Desarrollo Humano por la Universidad de Deusto
    “Sport for Development and Peace” (SDP) is a large global field in which sports, physical activities, and games are used to address non-sporting goals of social development and peacebuilding. The proliferation and acknowledgement of SDP organizations as enablers of sustainable development coincides with some fragmented evidence about the inequality in the field’s structure since some of them have fewer resources and are dependent on others. However, the scale of inequality is not known, and its analysis is complicated by the great diversity of stakeholders and practices, unclear boundaries of the field, and the lack of large-scale mapping of SDP and elaborated methodology for description of the global SDP structure. Relying on mediated communication and digital methods, this research reveals inequality in the structure of stakeholders and practices of the global SDP field in terms of organizational diversity and geopolitical location. The methodology of SDP research is enhanced by the use of hyperlink network analysis, web search engine data, and elaboration of a conceptual framework and model for definition of SDP boundaries. The results show an unbalanced distribution of varied types of SDP stakeholders. Also, type of organization is an important characteristic for understanding patterns of connections in the global SDP network. In general, the connections in the SDP network are very unevenly distributed, with clear-cut leaders and outsiders. Different types of organizations show varying capacities for leadership in the field, and geopolitical location is an important characteristic for explaining leadership patterns. Furthermore, the research analyses the ways to advance equality of opportunities for SDP stakeholders. Additionally, the effectiveness of mediated communication and digital methods for the description of the global SDP field is argued, and the advantages and difficulties of the methodology are discussed. Finally, a methodological ground for further empirical research is elaborated by clarifying SDP boundaries in a conceptual framework and providing a model with original set of differentiating criteria.
