Readers will find in a single volume a historically informed, argument driven account of the erratic evolution of US human rights policy since the Nixon administration. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnderstanding U.S. Human Rights Policy\u003c\/em\u003e will be an essential supplement in courses on human rights, foreign policy analysis and decision-making, and the history of US foreign policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clair Apodaca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415954231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415954235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.10w x 0.66d","brand":"Clair Apodaca","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136123810047,"sku":"9780415954235","price":77.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7aee6f5e-3289-4e6e-ac8a-baf96f70d644.jpg?v=1770160667","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-us-human-rights-policy-clair-apodaca-9780415954235","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
