Purchase options and add-ons

Acclaimed scholar Kathryn Sikkink examines the important and controversial new trend of holding political leaders criminally accountable for human rights violations.

Grawemeyer Award winner Kathryn Sikkink offers a landmark argument for human rights prosecutions as a powerful political tool. She shows how, in just three decades, state leaders in Latin America, Europe, and Africa have lost their immunity from any accountability for their human rights violations, becoming the subjects of highly publicized trials resulting in severe consequences. This shift is affecting the behavior of political leaders worldwide and may change the face of global politics as we know it.

Drawing on extensive research and illuminating personal experience, Sikkink reveals how the stunning emergence of human rights prosecutions has come about; what effect it has had on democracy, conflict, and repression; and what it means for leaders and citizens everywhere, from Uruguay to the United States. The Justice Cascade is a vital read for anyone interested in the future of world politics and human rights.

I’m an international relations specialist best known for my work on human rights, international norms, transnational advocacy networks and social movements, and transitional justice. I teach at the Harvard Kennedy School, where I’m the Ryan Family Professor of Human Rights Policy. I’m trying to write both for scholars and for members of the public interested in human rights and justice, especially my new book, The Hidden Face of Rights: Toward a Politics of Responsibility, and the books The Justice Cascade, Evidence for Hope, and Activists beyond Borders. My books have been awarded prizes, including the Grawemeyer Award (for Ideas for Improving World Order), the Robert F. Kennedy Center Book Award, and the WOLA/Duke University Award. In my most recent book The Hidden Face of Rights (Yale University Press, 2020) I argue that we cannot truly implement human rights unless we also recognize human responsibilities, giving examples from diverse issues like climate change, voting, digital privacy, and campus sexual assault. I’ve been a Fulbright Scholar in Argentina and a Guggenheim fellow.

    Great book to understand transitional justice process from the constructivist perspective. Sikkink is one of the leading scholars on this subject.

    Sikkink gives so much to think about as far as Bush and what will be of him and his decisions at Guantanamo Bay. The book overall is very interesting and she actually makes all the information she provides enjoyable. If you want to know anything and everything about how Human Rights began as a movement against individuals and states, this is it.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Boring and poorly written
    Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Had to read her book for a class about Transitional Justice. It was like nails on a chalkboard. It's sad because Sikkink actually makes really good points, but her droning on and on and clinical talking is so dry and bland that I would dread having to read a chapter each week. My assignments each week were to pin-point what her main point of each chapter was. Sikkink was so unclear about this that I wound up guessing a lot of the time. It's too bad because she started off strong many times and I was interested in what she had to say, but she spent so much time qualifying her sources or throwing dry statistics at the reader that it made me not want to hear what she had to say because in order to do so, I had to sif through so much useless and dull information. I did give her two stars because the information was there, but you do have to get past all of the dull droning. I would have given her another star for this book if she hadn't been so one-sided with her opinions. My other issue with her book is that she does not address the opposite points of view very well to support her point of view. Finally, she doesn't answer well what could be done in transitional societies to help them transition into a successful society after crimes against humanity were committed. Thankfully, my professor was able to explain a lot better than Sikkink.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Not for serious readers
    Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I am with the reviewer who read this for a graduate-level law class. If you have a passing, armchair interest in human rights, this might be a good book. But if you are undertaking serious study of this subject, choose something else. The author rambles needlessly, discusses her research trail too much rather than what the research revealed, and referenced far too often her personal friends. Waste of time! Wish I could return the kindle version I bought of this book!
