In the past decade, human rights as a component of U.S. foreign
policy has been the subject of intense debate. First brought to the
forefront by President Carter, it has also turned out to be one of
the most controversial aspects of foreign policy during the Reagan
administration. Policymakers who attempt to cope with human rights
issues are immediately confronted with questions not only about the
basic purposes of U.S. foreign policy, but also about the essential
nature of our political system; they are compelled to reflect upon
the interrelationship between domestic public opinion and the
pursuit of U.S. interests abroad. The complexity of human rights
issues is reflected in the diverse contributions to this book. The
authors examine the philosophical foundations of human rights, the
lessons of history that are relevant to today's concerns, and
contemporary policy. A concluding essay provides a critical
analysis of the arguments made by the authors.
