WILLIAM KOREY is a human rights scholar who has taught at various schools, including Columbia University, Brooklyn College, and Yeshiva University.
"Bill Korey is oneof the great scholars and practitioners of human rights issues in the world. His analysis of theFord Foundation's international human rights activities is a great contribution to understanding human rights in the last half-century and the critical importance of private organizations like the Ford Foundation." - Congressman Tom Lantos, Chairman, House Committee on Foreign Affairs"A brilliant, creative, and penetrating analytical achievement! Dr. Korey captures for the first time the extraordinary and extensive human rights work of the Ford Foundation. At the same time, he explores the world of repression and how human rights organizations, funded by the foundation, have responded. It is a remarkable story told by a master." - Larry Cox, Executive Director of Amnesty International USA"What a thrilling and exciting work is Dr. William Korey's new study of the Ford Foundation's international human rights policy and program. Anyone interested in human rights will find his analysis enormously rewarding and instructive. An unparalleled resource." - Seymour D. Reich, Past President, B'nai B'rith International"Taking on the World's Repressive Regimes, Bill Korey's incisive account of the Ford Foundation's global encounter with human rights, is a work of unusual insight and historical weight. With unfettered access to more than half a century of Foundation archives, supplemented by candid interviews with many of its top officers, Korey tells a vivid story not only of this country's foremost philanthropy but also of how America's elites came to understand, step by sometimes painful step, the core place of human rights in defining our nation and our world. In Korey's capable hands, the evolution of the Ford Foundation's engagement with human rights becomes a sweeping narrative of social change and progressive public policy, of emerging domestic values and their reflection in ever more encompassing global norms. In this seminal tale of how to move public policy, at home and abroad, the critical but often undervalued role of civil society, public intellectuals, and norm entrepreneurs is given its due prominence." - Edward C. Luck, Professor and Director, Center on International Organization, Columbia University
