The Helsinki Effect: International Norms, Human Rights, and the Demise of Communism

The Helsinki Effect: International Norms, Human Rights, and the Demise of Communism The author argues that the Helsinki Final Act (1975) transformed East-West relations and provided a common platform around which opposition could mobilize. This text counters those who believe international norms do not affect domestic political change, and explains why and how they matter. Autor: Daniel C.
