A precarious equilibrium

Human rights and détente in Jimmy Carter's Soviet policy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Human rights and détente inextricably intertwined during Carter's years. By promoting human rights in the USSR, Carter sought to build a domestic consensus for détente; through bipolar dialogue, he tried to advance human rights in the USSR. But, human rights contributed to the erosion of détente without achieving a lasting domestic consensus.
