Rights & Regulation

How can rights claims contribute to polarisation?
How may regulatory mechanisms help alleviate such polarisation?
HERE’S HOW
the aMBITIOn

Regulatory-Rights Pathways

Through the Regulatory-Rights Pathways we seek to:

Guarantee the right of free speech while protecting from hate speech

Ensure access to a full spectrum of information while regulating against fake news

Protect free expression against potentially violent threats.

OUR DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS
The Method

Regulatory-Rights Prism

The Regulatory-Rights Prism provides policymakers with a dynamic and responsive policy-making environment.  It seeks to address the challenges of regulating rights claims to promote social cohesion in contexts of everyday extremism and disruptive extremist narratives. The Prism has been developed through an analysis of past, present and future policy issues relative to rights and regulations.

Context

modes of opposition grounded on exclusion of one group or another within the relevant polity

View the cases

modes of opposition in which a given minority has remained, sometimes over centuries, and never been fully attuned but does not seek to integrate into the polity by violent means

View the cases

contexts are modes of attunement in which different groups both have legitimate and potential dominant claims and exist side by side. Uneasy contexts may unravel or continue peacefully

View the cases

modes of opposition which have led to greater integration, policy change and social justice

View the cases

Belonging

perdures among groups that coexist in opposition and may decompose at any moment. Groups resent the presence of another even as their modes of attunement may be aligned at a given moment

View the cases

generally applies to minority groups that continue in a position of marginality over long periods and for whom attunement is always a relative achievement

View the cases

allows groups that have found a mode of attunement to coexist but with a suspicion and fear among each group or individual that their position may be supplanted or be challenged

View the cases

achieved when oppositional groups have overcome their opposition to achieve greater inclusivity and social justice. Opposition remains, but the violent clash of interests has been overcome with policy and institutional outcomes of expanded belonging.

View the cases

Outcome

when one group refuses the continued presence of another within a regulatory rights pathway

View the cases

allows for groups to continue as they have, even amidst a relative failure of full attunement

View the cases

allows for a relative achievement of attunement. Though it remains unsettled, it emerges when institutional, legal and policy frameworks have been found to support short and medium-term attunement

View the cases

comes when the essential drivers of opposition have been grasped as sources of injustice and are identified by extensive legal, policy and institutional frameworks as detrimental to the community
