Conflict and Compliance State Responses to International Human
Rights Pressure Sonia Cardenas "Finally, a book showing that
compliance is not an all-or-nothing affair. Cardenas unpacks
compliance and makes a compelling case that domestic politics are a
big part of the story, two invaluable contributions to the field of
human rights. Read the book "--Emilie M. Hafner-Burton, University
of California, San Diego "This is an excellent look at why states
comply--or not--with international human rights norms, and will be
a valuable reference on the bookshelf of students of human rights
as well as, hopefully, policymakers responsible for crafting and
implementing pressure for human rights compliance."--"Human Rights
and Human Welfare" International human rights pressure has been
applied to numerous states with varying results. In "Conflict and
Compliance," Sonia Cardenas examines responses to such pressure and
challenges conventional views of the reasons states do--or do
not--comply with international law. Data from disparate bodies of
research suggest that more pressure to comply with human rights
standards is not necessarily more effective, and that international
policies are more efficient when they target the root causes of
state oppression. Cardenas surveys a broad array of evidence to
support these conclusions, including Latin American cases that
incorporate recent important declassified materials, a statistical
analysis of all the countries in the world, and a set of secondary
cases from Eastern Europe, South Africa, China, and Cuba. The views
of human rights skeptics and optimists are surveyed to illustrate
how state rhetoric and behavior can be interpreted differently
depending on one's perspective. Theoretically and methodologically
sophisticated, "Conflict and Compliance" paints a new picture of
the complex dynamics at work when states face competing pressures
to comply with and violate international human rights norms. Sonia
