What can the international community do when countries would rather
ignore a thorny problem? Scorecard Diplomacy shows that, despite
lacking traditional force, public grades are potent symbols that
can evoke countries' concerns about their reputations and motivate
them to address the problem. The book develops an unconventional
but careful argument about the growing phenomenon of such ratings
and rankings. It supports this by examining the United States'
foreign policy on human trafficking using a global survey of NGOs,
case studies, thousands of diplomatic cables, media stories, 90
interviews worldwide, and other documents. All of this is gathered
together in a format that walks the reader through the mechanisms
of scorecard diplomacy, including an assessment of the outcomes.
Scorecard Diplomacy speaks both to those keen to understand the
pros and cons of US policy on human trafficking and to those
interested in the central question of influence in international
relations. The book's companion website can be found at
