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. 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aHuman rights$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aDemocracy$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aDemocracy. 615 0$aHuman rights$xHistory 615 0$aDemocracy$xHistory 676 $a323.0904 700 $aLandman$b Todd$0477307 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910132247203321 996 $aHuman Rights and Democracy$91804694 997 $aUNINA
