Between Principle and Practice examines the human rights diplomacy of Canada, the Netherlands, and Norway, all prosperous industrial democracies with an international reputation for protesting human rights abuses, from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. David Gillies reveals that even these countries are seldom prepared to sacrifice short-run economic or political interests to protest gross and systematic human rights abuses beyond their borders.

David Gillies is principal researcher, Fragile and Conflict-Affected States, The North-South Institute in Ottawa.
