The State of Repair
∞ Transitional justice has long been established as a rich field of scholarship and policy. An enduring concern has been the mix of advocacy and scholarship and its effects on empirical assessments. A more recent concern is that the international consensus supporting transitional justice is eroding. This article engages these concerns through the lens of international norms. Systematically analyzing international discourse within the United Natio…
Contesting the World
Over the past thirty years, norms research has evolved into a significant subfield within International Relations and beyond. 'Contesting the World' delves into the development of norms, exploring their emergence, change and legitimacy on both domestic and international levels. This in-depth volume presents the interpretation-contestation framework, positioning it as the primary theoretical mechanism for understanding norms. Leading scholars span…
Conceptualizing and assessing norm strength in International Relations
What constitutes a strong or a weak norm? Scholars often refer to strong or weak, or strengthening or weakening norms, yet there are widespread inconsistencies in terminology and no agreed-upon measures. This has hindered the accumulation of knowledge and made it difficult to test competing hypotheses about norm development and contestation. To address these conceptual problems and their analytical implications, this article conceptualizes norm s…
Narratives, Contention, and the Politics of Memory
Rhetorical Adaptation and Resistance to International Norms
Scholarship on states’ responses to international norms has focused on commitment, compliance, and noncompliance; paying insufficient attention to responses that fall outside these categories. Beyond simply complying with or violating a norm; states contest, resist, and respond to international norms in a range of ways. I identifyrhetorical adaptationas a central form of resistance to international norms. Rather than simply rejecting a norm or ch…
School experiences of transgender and gender diverse students in Australia

This paper explores the school experiences of Australian transgender and gender diverse students' , with particular consideration of recognition of their gender identity in documentation, experiences of pub…
Norms, Narratives, and Scholarship on the Armenian Genocide
Analyzing the politics of the past in the context of the Armenian Genocide reveals an evolving interplay between international norms, official narratives, and broader discourses. This short essay explores three aspects of these interrelationships. First, I draw on my own research to highlight the ways in which changes in Turkey's narrative of the genocide—typically referred to in official discourse as sözde Ermeni sorunu (the so-called Armenian q…
Defending the Nation? Maintaining Turkey's Narrative of the Armenian Genocide
This paper focuses on two recent periods in which agents of the Turkish state actively defended Turkey's official narrative of the Armenian genocide. I argue that the set of strategies developed by Turkish officers and bureaucrats under the military regime in power from 1980 to 1983 established a pattern of state response that was replicated by bureaucratic elites in the face of new challenges to the official narrative two decades later. Understa…
