CQ Researcher is the choice of librarians, researchers, and students seeking original, comprehensive reporting and analysis on the most vital issues shaping our world. Each weekly report offers in-depth, unbiased coverage of a single topic. Written by CQ Press′s staff of experienced reporters, these reports provide up-to-date information on a wide range of social, economic, political, environmental, and international issues.

My reasons for not adopting are three-fold (not in any particular order). First, I am teaching to students in Sweden, and this book at times takes a US-perspective which is less relevant for students outside the US. Second, while the book is great is covering the various human rights issues and with current info/examples, I feel that some core debates that are relevant to all issue areas are not given concentrated attention (e.g., universalism v cultural relativism; individual v collective rights; how to enforce--hard v soft mechanisms). Third, the book looks like a high school textbook, and not a university text. I prefer less pictures and and box inserts.
