New study from UN University:
Human Rights and Foreign Policy
The place of human rights in the contemporary foreign policies
of 10 states and regions is the focus of a new book from UN University Press.
In Human Rights and Comparative Foreign Policy,
leading world experts use a unique common framework to analyze the foreign
policies of 10 subject countries and regions as they relate to human rights.
The authors note increasing attention is being paid to human
rights in foreign policy. Most states, however, including those most concerned
about human rights, are reluctant to elevate the issue to a level equal to
traditional security and economic concerns. As well, states that do seek to
integrate human rights with other concerns often develop great foreign policy
inconsistencies.
Editor David P. Forsythe is Distinguished Professor of
Political Science at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, a consultant to the
International Red Cross, and serves on the Human Rights Program of the American
Association for the Advancement of Science.
