Yet many of the most egregious violations appear to go unpunished. In many cases, shaming not only fails to induce compliance but also incites a backlash, provoking resistance and worsening human rights practices. \u003ci\u003eThe Geopolitics of Shaming\u003c\/i\u003e presents a new theory on the strategic logic of international human rights enforcement, revealing why and how states punish violations in other countries, when shaming leads to an improvement in human rights conditions, and when it backfires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEvidence-Based Research on Human Rights Shaming\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on a wide range of evidence—from large-scale cross-national data to original survey experiments and detailed case studies—Rochelle Terman shows how human rights shaming is a deeply political process, one that operates in and through strategic relationships. Arguing that preexisting geopolitical relationships condition both the causes and consequences of shaming in world politics, she shows how adversaries are quick to condemn human rights abuses but often provoke a counterproductive response, while friends and allies are the most effective shamers but can be reluctant to impose meaningful sanctions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Insights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamines why some human rights violations go unpunished while others face international pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalyzes the conditions under which shaming improves human rights versus when it provokes backlash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores how geopolitical relationships between states affect enforcement outcomes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines cross-national data, survey experiments, and case studies for comprehensive analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChallenges conventional wisdom on the role of norms in international affairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePart of Princeton Studies in International History and Politics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUpending conventional wisdom on the role of norms in world affairs, \u003ci\u003eThe Geopolitics of Shaming\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that politicization is integral to—not a corruption of—the success of the global human rights project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRochelle Terman\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of political science at the University of Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50680466964754,"sku":"9780691250489","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_28193f57-0304-4775-b6ee-6b58e48b7c8c.jpg?v=1734906652","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-geopolitics-of-shaming-when-human-rights-pressure-works-and-when-it-backfires-9780691250489","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
