The Rebirth of Politics from the Spirit of Morality: Explaining the Human Rights Revolution of the 1970's --Notes --Contributors --Index --AcknowledgmentsBetween the 1960's and the 1980's, the human rights movement achieved unprecedented global prominence. Amnesty International attained striking visibility with its Campaign Against Torture; Soviet dissidents attracted a worldwide audience for their heroism in facing down a totalitarian state; the Helsinki Accords were signed, incorporating a "third basket" of human rights principles; and the Carter administration formally gave the United States a human rights policy. The Breakthrough is the first collection to examine this decisive era as a whole, tracing key developments in both Western and non-Western engagement with human rights and placing new emphasis on the role of human rights in the international history of the past century. Bringing together original essays from some of the field's leading scholars, this volume not only explores the transnational histories of international and nongovernmental human rights organizations but also analyzes the complex interplay between gender, sociology, and ideology in the making of human rights politics at the local level. Detailed case studies illuminate how a number of local movements—from the 1975 World Congress of Women in East Berlin, to antiapartheid activism in Britain, to protests in Latin America—affected international human rights discourse in the era as well as the ways these moments continue to influence current understanding of human rights history and advocacy. The global south—an area not usually treated as a scene of human rights politics—is also spotlighted in groundbreaking chapters on Biafran, South American, and Indonesian developments. In recovering the remarkable presence of global human rights talk and practice in the 1970's, The Breakthrough brings this pivotal decade to the forefront of contemporary scholarly debate.

Donohue1st ed.Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2008.1 online resource (xii, 500 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).0-521-60587-3 0-521-84444-4 Includes bibliographical references (p. 361-467) and index.The Perilous dichotomy -- Indefinite detention and coercive Interrogation -- Financial counterterrorism -- Privacy and surveillance -- Terrorist speech and free expression -- Auxiliary precautions.In the aftermath of a terrorist attack political stakes are high: legislators fear being seen as lenient or indifferent and often grant the executive broader authorities without thorough debate. The judiciary's role, too, is restricted: constitutional structure and cultural norms narrow the courts' ability to check the executive at all but the margins. The dominant 'Security or Freedom' framework for evaluating counterterrorist law thus fails to capture an important characteristic: increased executive power that shifts the balance between branches of government. This book re-calculates the cost of counterterrorist law to the United Kingdom and the United States, arguing that the damage caused is significantly greater than first appears. Donohue warns that the proliferation of biological and nuclear materials, together with willingness on the part of extremists to sacrifice themselves, may drive each country to take increasingly drastic measures with a resultant shift in the basic structure of both states.National securityLaw and legislationUnited StatesCivil rightsUnited StatesTerrorismUnited StatesPreventionNational securityLaw and legislationGreat BritainTerrorismGreat BritainPreventionTerrorismPreventionInternational cooperationNational securityLaw and legislationCivil rightsTerrorismPrevention.National securityLaw and legislationTerrorismPrevention.TerrorismPreventionInternational cooperation.343.73/01Donohue Laura K.1969-1103615UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9911144339803321The cost of counterterrorism4877449UNINA
