Biography
Steve Carlton-Ford is Professor of Sociology at the University of Cincinnati, USA. Much of his published work has focused cross-nationally on determinants of child mortality, an indicator of the right to life defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). His recent research examines the determinants of political, civil, social, and economic rights as described in the UDHR. He is the co-editor (with Morten Ender) of The Routledge Handbook of War and Society: Iraq and Afghanistan (Routledge, 2010) and author of The Effects of Ritual and Charisma: The Creation of Collective Effervescence and the Support of Psychic Strength (1993) and numerous journal articles.
