The twentieth century has been described as the bloodiest in human
history, but it was also the century in which people around the
world embraced ideas of democracy and human rights as never before.
They constructed social, political and legal institutions seeking
to contain human behavior, ensuring that by the turn of the twenty-
first century more countries were democratic than non-democratic
and the protection of human rights had been extended far beyond the
expectations of the creators of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights. Todd Landman offers an optimistic, yet cautionary tale of
these developments, drawing on the literature from politics,
international relations and international law. He celebrates the
global turn from tyranny and violence towards democracy and rights
but he also warns of the precariousness of these achievements in
the face of democratic setbacks and the undermining of rights
commitments by many countries during the controversial "War on
Terror."
