Courtney Hercus

The Struggle over Human Rights

The Non-Aligned Movement, Jimmy Carter, and Neoliberalism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Struggle over Human Rights uses empirical evidence to prove that pressures placed by the NIEO on the international system shaped the human rights doctrine of the Carter administration. Carter's strategy relegated economic rights to a "basic needs" approach and sharpened the definition of international human rights to serve the US world order.
