Önsketänkande

Eftersom jag inte är odelat förtjust i aktivister skrattade jag glatt. Men generellt är jurister hästlängder efter statsvetare när det rör metod.
In academic human rights research, especially legal human rights research, little attention tends to be devoted to questions of methodology. One reason for this may be that human rights scholars often are (former) human rights activists. Dispensing with methodological niceties enables them to engage in wishful thinking and to come up with the conclusions they were hoping to find in the first place.
