What can the international community do when countries would rather
ignore a thorny problem? Scorecard Diplomacy shows that, despite
lacking traditional force, public grades are potent symbols that can
evoke countries' concerns about their reputations and motivate them to
address the problem. The book develops an unconventional but careful
argument about the growing phenomenon of such ratings and rankings. It
supports this by examining the United States' foreign policy on human
trafficking using a global survey of NGOs, case studies, thousands of
diplomatic cables, media stories, 90 interviews worldwide, and other
documents. All of this is gathered together in a format that walks the
reader through the mechanisms of scorecard diplomacy, including an
assessment of the outcomes. Scorecard Diplomacy speaks both to those
keen to understand the pros and cons of US policy on human trafficking
and to those interested in the central question of influence in
international relations. The book's companion website can be found at
