The power of human rights : international norms and domestic change

This book reviews 50 years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and evaluates the impact of these norms on the behaviour of national governments and their domestic and international policies. It develops a five phase 'spiral model' of human rights change to suggest a socialization process by which the international norms are internalized into national policy. The model links the interactions among transnationally operating advocacy networks, international organizations, Western states, domestic opposition groups, and norm-violating national governments in one unified concept. The book applies the model to eleven countries from Northern Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, South-East Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. Finally, practical lessons are drawn from the analysis which provide new perspectives for activists and policy makers concerned with preserving and extending the human rights gains made during the past 50 years.
