Description
Human rights and detente inextricably intertwined during Carter's years. By promoting human rights in the USSR, Carter sought to build a domestic consensus for detente; through bipolar dialogue, he tried to advance human rights in the USSR. But, human rights contributed to the erosion of detente without achieving a lasting domestic consensus. -- .
Author Biography
Umberto Tulli is a Lecturer in the Department of Humanities and the School of International Studies at the University of Trento -- .
Reviews'Readers looking for a nuanced and informative study will not be disappointed. Utilizing a wide array of archival research, Tulli recounts Carter's efforts to promote human rights in the Soviet Union, which intersected with detente. While such arguments are not as novel as Tulli suggests, A Precarious Equilibrium still makes an important contribution to explaining how Carter waged the Cold War.'
