520 3 _aInvestigates whether the United States has compromised its stance on human rights in its determination to combat terrorism in the post 9/11 world. Considers U.S. policy towards five Asian states: China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan. Finds that US levels of concern about human rights in these states have diminished and that each has exploited the room for manoeuvre thus offered, however the US has continued to deliver sharp criticism of abuses for example to Uzbekistan even though the latter is considered to be a front-line state in the war on terror.
