This collection of papers from a 1987 international conference was
sponsored by the Human Rights Committee of the International
Political Science Association. The volume presents an argument in
support of action for human rights in the Third World, emphasizing
not economic or historical determinism but rather the importance of
political choice by elites in deciding which rights to violate or
respect. It therefore challenges more pessimistic arguments based
on history, economics or culture. The first section of the book
details work in the private sector in support of human rights, with
contributors from Mexico, Nigeria, India, Norway and the US. A
second section analyzes the role and impact of the foreign policies
of developed states, on the basis of chapters by authors from the
Netherlands, West Germany, Canada and the US. A third section looks
at private and public action in Turkey, the Sudan, India and
Bangladesh. The fourth section contains two overviews of the
process of development and human rights. David Forsythe's books
include "Human Rights and US Foreign Policy - Congress
Reconsidered" (winner of the Dauer Prize) and "Human Rights and
World Politics".
