Non-enforcement as a tool of mediation in pluralistic societies
This paper addresses the question of why states enforce certain legal rules but not others. While systematic non-enforcement of laws is considered undesirable in a positivist sense, this article perceives non-enforcement as a deliberate tool of mediation. Arguing that laws can regulate social behaviour beyond their literal application, non-enforcement can become a mechanism to mediate between contradicting legal orders that coexist in the same so…
Peripheral states and conformity to international norms: The dilemma of the marginalised
This paper seeks to understand the seemingly paradoxical behaviour of states of the Global South, which on one the hand conform to transnational norms in order to integrate into the international society and on the other hand (sometimes simultaneously) differentiate themselves from them. To that end, this article develops the dilemma of the marginalised in order to show that conformity and differentiation become two paradoxical strategies for mar…
Local perceptions of the legitimacy of peace operations by the UN, regional organizations and individual states – a case study of the Mali conflict
This paper addresses two issues that have only been marginally discussed in the literature about peace operations: First, it investigates the legitimacy of peace operations from the perspective of populations of states that receive them. Secondly, it assesses how host populations perceive different types of peace interventions; by the UN, by a regional organization and by an individual state. A conceptual framework of the local legitimacy of peac…
All Myth and Ceremony? Examining the Causes and Logic of the Mission Shift in Microfinance from Microenterprise Credit to Financial Inclusion
This contribution assesses the shift in the mission of microfinance from providing small loans for entrepreneurship to the broader agenda of financial inclusion. Three leading organisations' publications inform a discourse analysis, which allows the strategic shift to be analysed using two theoretical frames from organisational sociology: instrumental rationalism and sociological institutionalism. The proclaimed shift in strategy is found to cons…

Les résultats suggèrent que les hommes tanzaniens ont des attentes très traditionnelles concernant les rôles de genre …
