This chapter first sets out the book’s purpose, which is to examine the interaction between global South publics and human rights ideas and organizations. This chapter underscores the importance of the book’s key concepts: human rights, local human rights organizations, and public opinion. The chapter then discusses the four case studies—India, Mexico, Morocco, and Nigeria—that are the focus of the present inquiry, and explains why these countries were selected. It goes on to describe the book’s mixed-methods approach and introduce the Human Rights Perceptions Polls, followed by a brief overview of key findings.

Changes in polarographic diffusion current of the cadmium(1r) aquo complex when consecutively complexed with thiourea and substituted thioureas are directly related to commonly used polynomial functions of free-ligand concentration involving overall formation constants. Pseudoformation curves are defined and their analysis exploited as a means of obtaining formation-constant data; these are essentially in agreement with those generated by more conventional methods when these are applicable. It is shown that the average diffusion coefficient of a system of metal complexes in equilibrium depends upon the free-ligand concentration in a manner which is a function of both the nature of the ligand and the solvent medium.
