The book analyses the US State Departments Annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices as a means to monopolise and, more importantly, legitimise a specific framing of the human rights agenda to further US foreign policy. The US agendas deviation from established international human rights standards has very serious implications considering the preponderant global influence exercised by the US. Furthermore, more recently, the reports have added a separate section on "corruption" as a human rights issue. "Corruption", a controversial concept from the outset, is understood in a narrow way as a public sector issue that largely prevails in and subverts the so-called developing and transition countries. This book shows how this recent inclusion ultimately serves the US global neoliberal imperialist agenda and becomes the hegemonic discourse in international organisations. Dr. Ilia Xypolia is Lecturer at the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Aberdeen, UK, and the reviews editor for the Journal of Global Faultlines. 001446435 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001446435 650_0 $$aHuman rights advocacy$$zUnited States. 001446435 650_0 $$aPolitical corruption$$zDeveloping countries. 001446435 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForeign relations. 001446435 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001446435 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aXypolia, Ilia.$$tHuman rights, imperialism, and corruption in US foreign policy.$$dBasingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2022$$z9783030998141$$w(OCoLC)1308487190 001446435 830_0 $$aHuman rights interventions. 001446435 852__ $$bebk 001446435 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-99815-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001446435 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1446435$$pGLOBAL_SET 001446435 980__ $$aBIB 001446435 980__ $$aEBOOK 001446435 982__ $$aEbook 001446435 983__ $$aOnline 001446435 994__ $$a92$$bISE
