Reihe: Key Studies in Diplomacy

Human rights and detente inextricably intertwined during Carter's years. By promoting human rights in the USSR, Carter sought to build a domestic consensus for detente; through bipolar dialogue, he tried to advance human rights in the USSR. But human rights contributed to the erosion of the detente without achieving a lasting domestic consensus.
