Payaslian, Simon
Political economy of human rights in Armenia authoritarianism and democracy in a former Soviet republic Authoritarianism and democracy in a former Soviet republic - London I B Tauris 2011 - ix,417p. maps ; 22 cm. - International library of historical studies ; 75 . - International library of historical studies ; 75. .
Includes bibliographical references (p. [364]-404) and index.
An overview -- The history of Armenia and the evolution of international human rights -- Political rights under authoritarian rule -- Respect for civil liberties and the integrity of the person -- Social and economic rights -- The rights of refugees and internally displaced persons.
"Since its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Armenia has experienced a reversal from democratization to a Soviet-style authoritarian regime and has been accused of repressive approaches to human rights. Here, Simon Payaslian juxtaposes a masterful survey of the history of the Armenian people from the nineteenth century through the first republic (1918-21) and Sovietization to the present, with the evolution of international human rights standards, and argues that a statist and authoritarian political culture has impeded political liberalization and institutionalization of human rights principles. Highlighting the clash between sovereignty on one side and human rights and democracy on the other, this comprehensive and in-depth analysis is essential for all those interested in human rights, democratization, political repression and the former Soviet republics."--Publisher's website.
