部署在海外的美国非入侵部队经常试图促进东道国对人权的更大尊重。东道国有保留部队存在的动机，可以选择遵守这些要求。我们认为，这种影响不会在美国（US）的高安全显着性的国家（美国可能无法合理地威胁撤军）中发挥作用。在这些情况下，美国的部署将为领导人提供来自内部和外部威胁的安全，而不依赖于当地民众对领导人的支持。因此，东道国领导人对当地民众的依赖程度降低（并可能降低对当地民众的回应），这反过来可能导致侵犯人权行为的增加。在本文中，我们使用1982年至2005年美国海外驻军和侵犯人权行为的数据来检验这些论点。
US noninvasion troops deployed abroad often try to promote greater respect for human rights in the host country. The host country, having an incentive to retain the troop presence, may choose to comply with these requests. We argue that this effect will not be at play in states with high security salience for the United States (US) (for which the US may not be able to credibly threaten to remove the troops). In these cases, US deployments will provide the leader with security from both internal and external threats that is independent of the local population’s support for the leader. Host state leaders thus become less reliant on (and potentially less responsive to) their local populations, which in turn may lead to increased human rights violations. In this article, we use data on both US troop deployments abroad and on human rights violations to test these arguments from 1982 to 2005.
