Mixed Signals: U.S. Human Rights Policy and Latin America

by Kathryn Sikkink

Book Overview

Nowhere did two understandings of U.S. identity--human rights and anticommunism--come more in conflict with each other than they did in Latin America. To refocus U.S. policy on human rights and democracy required a rethinking of U.S. policy as a whole. It required policy makers to choose between policies designed to defeat communism at any cost and those that remain within the bounds of the rule of law.--from the Introduction
