| Zusammenfassung: | Carter envisioned his Soviet policy moving along two interdependent tracks that should have formed a "virtuous circle". He aimed to renew the American ideological challenge through human rights and to persuade the Soviets to ease internal repression to strengthen Congressional support for détente and arms control. In turn, continuing the bipolar dialogue, the administration aimed to promote human rights further in the USSR. Contrary to what he envisioned, Carter was caught between Scylla and Charybdis. The more vigorously the White House pursued human rights in bipolar relations, the more the Soviets lost interest in détente; the more the administration relegated human rights to quiet diplomacy, the more critics within the United States accused the President of abandoning his commitment to human rights. Trapped in this contradiction, Carter lost both the opportunity to renew détente and to build lasting domestic support "<I>A precarious equilibrium</i> explores Carter's human rights policy and its contradictory impact on US-Soviet affairs. It offers a fresh interpretation of Carter's bipolar policy. The administration envisioned its approach to the Soviet Union as moving along two interdependent tracks that were supposed to form a "virtuous circle". The United States aimed to renew its ideological challenge to the USSR through human rights and to persuade the Soviets to ease internal repression in order to strengthen Congressional support for détente and arms control. In turn, continuing the bipolar dialogue, the administration aimed to promote human rights further in the USSR. Contrary to what he envisioned, Carter was caught between Scylla and Charybdis. The more vigorously the White House pursued human rights in bipolar relations, the more the Soviets lost interest in détente; the more the administration relegated human rights to quiet diplomacy, the more critics within the United States accused the President of abandoning his commitment to human rights. Trapped in this contradiction, Carter's human rights policy did not build domestic support for arms control and worsened bipolar relations. In the end, the White House lost the opportunity to stabilize bipolar relations and the domestic support Carter had managed to garner in 1976. Critics of détente, helped by the Iran hostage crisis and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, defeated him.Based on recently declassified documents from American and European archives, the book offers a valuable contribution to historians of the Cold War and to scholars of U.S. foreign policy and of human rights." -- Back cover |

Critics' triumph: quiet Diplomacy, SALT II and the invasion of Afghanistan, 1979-1980 -- Conclusion Carter envisioned his Soviet policy moving along two interdependent tracks that should have formed a "virtuous circle". He aimed to renew the American ideological challenge through human rights and to persuade the Soviets to ease internal repression to strengthen Congressional support for détente and arms control. In turn, continuing the bipolar dialogue, the administration aimed to promote human rights further in the USSR. Contrary to what he envisioned, Carter was caught between Scylla and Charybdis. The more vigorously the White House pursued human rights in bipolar relations, the more the Soviets lost interest in détente; the more the administration relegated human rights to quiet diplomacy, the more critics within the United States accused the President of abandoning his commitment to human rights. Trapped in this contradiction, Carter lost both the opportunity to renew détente and to build lasting domestic support "<I>A precarious equilibrium</i> explores Carter's human rights policy and its contradictory impact on US-Soviet affairs. It offers a fresh interpretation of Carter's bipolar policy. The administration envisioned its approach to the Soviet Union as moving along two interdependent tracks that were supposed to form a "virtuous circle". The United States aimed to renew its ideological challenge to the USSR through human rights and to persuade the Soviets to ease internal repression in order to strengthen Congressional support for détente and arms control. In turn, continuing the bipolar dialogue, the administration aimed to promote human rights further in the USSR. Contrary to what he envisioned, Carter was caught between Scylla and Charybdis. The more vigorously the White House pursued human rights in bipolar relations, the more the Soviets lost interest in détente; the more the administration relegated human rights to quiet diplomacy, the more critics within the United States accused the President of abandoning his commitment to human rights. Trapped in this contradiction, Carter's human rights policy did not build domestic support for arms control and worsened bipolar relations. In the end, the White House lost the opportunity to stabilize bipolar relations and the domestic support Carter had managed to garner in 1976. Critics of détente, helped by the Iran hostage crisis and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, defeated him.Based on recently declassified documents from American and European archives, the book offers a valuable contribution to historians of the Cold War and to scholars of U.S. foreign policy and of human rights." -- Back cover In English Carter, Jimmy 1924-2024 (DE-588)118519336 gnd rswk-swf USA Congress (DE-588)35622-0 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1977-1981 gnd rswk-swf Menschenrechtspolitik (DE-588)4169433-8 gnd rswk-swf Sowjetunion (DE-588)4077548-3 gnd rswk-swf Carter, Jimmy / 1924- Diplomacy / History / 1977-1981 Diplomacy / Political aspects / United States Human rights / Political aspects / United States United States / Foreign relations / Soviet Union Soviet Union / Foreign relations / United States United States / Politics and government / 1977-1981 Diplomatie / Aspect politique / États-Unis Droits de l'homme (Droit international) / Aspect politique / États-Unis États-Unis / Relations extérieures / URSS.
