A Precarious Equilibrium: Human Rights and Détente in Jimmy Carter's Soviet Policy

By Umberto Tulli

Human rights and d?tente inextricably intertwined during Carter's years. By promoting human rights in the USSR, Carter sought to build a domestic consensus for d?tente; through bipolar dialogue, he tried to advance human rights in the USSR. But, human rights contributed to the erosion of d?tente without achieving a lasting domestic consensus. Based on recently declassified archival documents, A precarious equilibrium offers a fresh interpretation of President Jimmy Carter's human rights policy and its contradictory impact on US-Soviet affairs.
