Human Rights and U.S. 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. Clair Apodaca argues that the history of
U.S.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. Through a series of
chapters devoted to U.S. presidential administrations from Richard
Nixon to the present, she delivers a comprehensive historical,
social, and cultural context to understand the development and
implementation of U.S. human rights policy. For each
administration, she pays close attention to how ideology,
bureaucratic politics, lobbying, and competition affect the
inclusion or exclusion of human rights in the economic and military
aid allocation decisions of the United States. She further
demonstrates that from 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. Human Rights and U.S.
Foreign Policy is a key text for students, which will appeal to all
readers who will find a historically informed, argument driven
account of the erratic evolution of U.S. human rights policy since
the Nixon Administration.
