Taking stock of theories around norm contestation
This research consolidates debates around the impact of international norm contestation and evaluates previous findings. It conceptualises a typology for norms and norm contestation and applies this framework to R2P to test its explanatory effectiveness. The typologies draw on work by Finnemore and Sikkink, as well as the applicatory versus justificatory discourse by Deitelhoff and Zimmermann and Wiener’s modes of contestation, amongst others. It…
Organised hypocrisy in the African Union
Since its emergence the African Union has continued to develop its normative framework, overcoming a culture of impunity and non-intervention and promoting innovative concepts such as the responsibility to protect (R2P). However, there appears to be a division between the legal and verbal commitment to R2P and the practical use of the concept. This article argues that the non-application of R2P can best be understood as a case of organised hypocr…
Norm Evolution a Matter of Conformity and Contestedness
Research on international norms has been thriving for decades, most prominently exploring processes of norm creation and compliance. Yet the mainstream literature has paid scant attention to the issue of continuous norm evolution beyond a norm’s emergence. In this article we aim at framing the wider context in which norm evolution is taking place. We identify two antipodes: conformity and contestedness between which norms continue to evolve. We w…
Norm evolution within and across the African Union and the United Nations
This article examines the evolution of the responsibility to protect (R2P) norm through the institutional frameworks of the African Union and the United Nations. The investigation aligns itself with recent constructivist thinking around norm evolution and contestation which holds that diverging interpretations around norms facilitate not only norm contestation, but ultimately norm acceptance. In this case different ‘meanings-in-use’ of R2P within…
