abstract="The article examines the exportation of legal &quot;best practices&quot; in the field of domestic violence from the United States to other countries. The policies and programs being exported mostly focus on the legal system as the primary mode of responding to domestic abuse. However, women's advocacy groups internationally have developed broader analyses of domestic violence, linking the issue of domestic violence to human rights, as well as economic and health issues and state concerns. This article argues that advocates in the United States have much to learn from their counterparts abroad and should proceed cautiously in exporting U.S. &quot;models&quot; of intervention in domestic violence.<p />",
