The organized hypocrisy of ethical foreign policy: Human rights, democracy and Western arms sales
چکیده انگلیسی
Over the past two decades, Western political leaders have scripted a more ethical foreign policy, wherein far greater weight is given to protecting the rights and freedoms of extra-territorial citizens. Using the example of arms exports to developing countries, the present paper exposes the organized hypocrisy underlying countries' self-declared ethical turn. We show that the major Western arms supplying states - France, Germany, the UK and the US - have generally not exercised export controls so as to discriminate against human rights abusing or autocratic countries during the post-Cold War period. Rather, we uncover ongoing territorial egoism, in that arms have been exported to countries which serve supplying states' domestic economic and security interests.
