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 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 so-called 'War on Terror'."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Human rightsDemocracyHuman rightsHistory20th centuryDemocracyHistory20th centuryHuman rights.Democracy.Human rightsHistoryDemocracyHistory323.0904Landman Todd477307UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910132247203321Human Rights and Democracy1804694UNINA
