Human Rights and United States Policy Toward Latin America by Lars Schoultz

Human Rights and United States Policy Toward Latin America by Lars Schoultz

The role of human rights in United States policy toward Latin America is the subject of this study. It covers the early sixties to 1980, a period when humanitarian values came to play an important role in determining United States foreign policy. The author is concerned both with explaining why these values came to impinge on government decision making and how internal bureaucratic processes affected the specific content of United States policy.

Originally published in 1981.
