Diplomacy & Statecraft Vol 25 No 2, June 2014, pp.303-330 (115) Summary: This analysis examines the evolution of Jimmy Carter's human rights policy towards the Third World during the course of his Administration. By exploring the impact of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the Soviet-backed Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia, it analyses how Carter responded to international outcry by pairing sovereignty as a human right, which specifically appealed to the concerns of newly independent nations in the late 1970s. Carter's shift is explained first by a brief outline of his initial human rights policy and stumbling blocks; second by examinig Third World responses to the dual invasions; and finally, exploring how this affected carter's human rights agenda as he encountered an increasingly volatile international environment, instead examinig the very real ways that he re-imagined this policy in the face of a changing global landscape.
