The Death Penalty and U.S. Diplomacy: How Foreign Nations and International Organizations Influence U.S. Policy

By Joseph M. Siracusa, Wesley Kendall, Joseph M. Siracusa Deputy Dean of Global Studies The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Univer

The Death Penalty and U.S. Diplomacy analyzes the institutional response to specific forms of foreign intervention and influence such as consular intervention, international litigation, and extradition negotiation. This is documented through case studies such as how a judge in Texas v. Green turned to a comparative Delaware case that relied on the Vienna Convention to remove the death penalty as possible punishment, and how Mexico pressured the White House in two separate cases.
