In \u003ci\u003eConflict and Compliance\u003c\/i\u003e, Sonia Cardenas examines responses to such pressure and challenges conventional views of the reasons states do--or do not--comply with international law. Data from disparate bodies of research suggest that more pressure to comply with human rights standards is not necessarily more effective and that international policies are more efficient when they target the root causes of state oppression. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCardenas surveys a broad array of evidence to support these conclusions, including Latin American cases that incorporate recent important declassified materials, a statistical analysis of all the countries in the world, and a set of secondary cases from Eastern Europe, South Africa, China, and Cuba. The views of human rights skeptics and optimists are surveyed to illustrate how state rhetoric and behavior can be interpreted differently depending on one's perspective. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTheoretically and methodologically sophisticated, \u003ci\u003eConflict and Compliance\u003c\/i\u003e paints a new picture of the complex dynamics at work when states face competing pressures to comply with and violate international human rights norms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sonia Cardenas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812221303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812221305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pennsylvania Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Sonia Cardenas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906603274495,"sku":"9780812221305","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_869f40cb-1ec8-4869-b55b-eba7ff86cff8.jpg?v=1748770890","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conflict-and-compliance-sonia-cardenas-9780812221305","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
