Description:

The United States (US) has included human rights as a major component of its foreign policy agenda beginning with the Marshall Plan and with Plan Colombia designed to combat drug trafficking. This book addresses several key themes and questions revolving around the complex nature of US foreign policy and human rights.

Synopsis:

One major dilemma regarding US foreign policy is when and how the US should address human rights around the globe and what responsibility exists for the US to promote human rights in the countries that receive US aid. Does US policy for foreign assistance really address human rights or is it merely another instrument in the US foreign policy toolbox? This insightful book addresses several key themes and questions revolving around the complex nature of US foreign policy and human rights. It examines US foreign policy and human rights, as well as the evolution of US assistance, and includes empirical evidence and case studies of Plan Colombia, Turkey and the war on terror, India and Pakistan. It closes with a look at the future of foreign aid.
