This research explores whether parenting expectations in Norwegian and Romanian legislation align with the cosmopolitan human rights of children and parents. Departing from normative theories about human rights, we constructed an analytical framework that we applied using process tracing to analyse the historical evolution of the two countries’ legislation on the cosmopolitan standard of what nation states can expect from parents. This research found that, while both countries have turned comprehensively towards human rights, they have yet fully to realise legislative frameworks that align with the human rights standard of what nation states can expect concerning parenting. While Norway’s slow-paced, democratic processes keep the country on track, Romania’s political processes risk getting the country off track towards cosmopolitanism
