This book was first published in 2008. As social practices now
frequently extend beyond national boundaries, experiences and
expectations about fair and legitimate politics have become
increasingly fragmented. Our ability to understand and interpret
others and to tolerate difference, rather than overcome diversity,
is therefore at risk. This book focuses on the contested meanings
of norms in a world of increasing international encounters. The
author argues that cultural practices are less visible than
organisational practices, but are constitutive for politics and
need to be understood and empirically 'accounted' for. Comparing
four elite groups in Europe, Antje Wiener shows how this invisible
constitution of politics matters. By comparing individual
interpretations of norms such as democracy and human rights, she
shows how they can mean different things, even to frequently
travelling elite groups.
