Workshop Summary:
This project focuses explicitly on the issue of norm implementation by exploring a number of norms which are widely accepted as internalized but in which there nevertheless appears to be significant forms of variation in implementation. Variation reflects the notion that there will be little contestation of the norm itself at the international or domestic level, but significant variability in the forms of implementation. This variation may occur across states at the international level either because of different interpretations of norms or individual normative elements. Or it may occur as a form of active contestation either by the state or by domestic interest groups and institutions. Thus, implementation may mark a distinctive fourth phase in Finnemore and Sikkink’s widely cited norm emergence model.
