He highlights the growing rift between North Atlantic democracies and emerging Asian economic powers, the effectiveness of using aid sanctions to defend human rights, and the vicissitudes of human rights programming in emerging democracies. On a theoretical level, Gillies examines the explanatory power of political realism and the scope for ethical conduct in a world of states. Linking policy assertiveness with perceived costs to other national interests, he constructs a framework for analysing policy actions and applies it to his various case studies, concluding that when it comes to human rights the gap between principle and practice is still far too wide.Human rightsAsiaCase studiesHuman rightsDeveloping countriesCase studiesNetherlandsForeign relations1948-NorwayForeign relations1945-Human rightsHuman rights327Gillies David1952-1755870MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823114503321Between principle and practice4192851UNINA
