Opis

This book shows that, despite lacking traditional force, public grades can motivate countries to focus on problems they would rather ignore.

Recenzje

'Scorecard Diplomacy is a fascinating study of how the United States uses its assessment power to influence policy change around the world. Judith G. Kelley shows that ratings matter in the public sphere. This is an incredibly insightful look at how modern US diplomacy has harnessed anxiety about 'grades' to provoke change in national policies - and has kept human trafficking on the global agenda.' Beth A. Simmons, Andrea Mitchell University Professor in Law and Political Science, University of Pennsylvania
