About the book:

The Power of Human Rights (published in 1999) was an innovative and influential contribution to the study of international human rights. At its center was a 'spiral model' of human rights change which described the various socialization processes through which international norms were internalized into the domestic practices of various authoritarian states during the Cold War years. The Persistent Power of Human Rights builds on these insights, extending its reach and analysis. It updates our understanding of the various causal mechanisms and conditions which produce behavioural compliance, and expands the range of rights-violating actors examined to include democratic and authoritarian Great Powers, corporations, guerrilla groups, and private actors. Using a unique blend of quantitative and qualitative research and theory, this book yields not only important new academic insights but also a host of useful lessons for policy-makers and practitioners.

Korruption, Drogen, ausufernde Gewalt, Waffen- und Menschenhandel sowie die Schwäche des Justizsystem bedrohen Staat und Gesellschaft Lateinamerikas. Die Sicherheitsorgane sind überfordert, das Militär wird zum zentralen Akteur im Kampf gegen die Organisierte Kriminalität. Im Kontext wachsender Unsicherheit stellt sich die Frage nach den Handlungschancen in Räumen begrenzter Staatlichkeit, die im Buch diskutiert wird.
