The future of United States human rights policy. 520 $a "Human Rights and US Foreign Policy provides a comprehensive historical overview and analysis of the complex and often vexing problem of understanding the formation of U.S. human rights policy. The proper place of human rights and fundamental freedoms in U.S. foreign policy has long been debated among scholars, politicians, and the American public. The history of United States human rights policy unfolds as a series of prevarications that are the result of presidential preferences, along with the conflict and cooperation among bureaucratic actors. Since the inception of U.S. human rights policy, presidents have attempted to tell only part of the truth or to reformulate the truth by redefining the meaning of the terms human rights, democracy, or torture, for example. In this way, human rights policy has been about prevarication. While Human Rights and US Foreign Policy is a key text for students, it will appeal to all readers who will find in a single volume a historically informed, argument driven, account of the erratic evolution of U.S. human rights policy since the Nixon administration"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Human rights $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Human rights $x History $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Human rights $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963297 650 7 $a Presidents. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075723 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Apodaca, Clair, 1956- author. $t Human rights and US foreign policy $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2019 $z 9781351205832 $w (DLC) 2019011749 830 0 $a Routledge studies in human rights. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318012528.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FC5E9A9E0CF511EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
