The 'Human Rights Component' of Foreign Policy (eBook, PDF)

The Case of Italy between Self-conceptions and the Pursuit of Reputation

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Framed into the broader conceptual debate that addresses the controversial
role of human rights in the foreign policies of states, this book
aims to critically investigate whether, how and to what extent human
rights matter in the definition of Italy's external action. The focus of this
study, which considers a period ranging from the end of the Cold War
to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, is placed on the whole 'human
rights component' of foreign policy, which is intended as the combination
of three dimensions that are part of the same policy effort but
can analytically be distinguished among them: 'institutional dialogue';
'multilateral initiative' and 'bilateral emphasis'. This book investigates
the consistency of this whole foreign policy component between the
content and scope of the human rights discourse of Italian foreign policy-
makers domestically and internationally and the actual efforts put
in place by the country to advance the global human rights agenda, its
institutions and procedures in both multilateral and bilateral settings.
