This edited volume analyses different forms of resistance against international institutions and charts their success or failure in changing the normative orders embodied in these institutions. Non-state groups and specific states alike advocate alternative global politics, at the same time finding themselves demonized as pariahs and outlaws who disturb established systems of governance. However, over time, some of these actors not only manage to shake off such allegations, but even find their normative convictions accepted by international institutions. This book develops an innovative conceptual framework to understand and explain these processes, using seven cases studies in diverse policy fields; including international security, health, migration, religion and internet politics. This framework demonstrates the importance of coalition-building and strategic framing in order to form a successful resistance and bring change in world politics.

Carmen Wunderlich geht der kontraintuitiven Frage nach, ob 'Schurkenstaaten' - vermeintliche Gegner der westlich-liberalen Ordnung - auch 'Normunternehmer' sein koennen, sich also proaktiv fur die Foerderung internationaler Normen einsetzen und ihnen zur Geltung verhelfen wollen, wie sie am Beispiel der Islamischen Republik Iran zeigt. Der Vergleich mit dem prototypischen Normunternehmer Schweden und dem notorischen Normbrecher Nordkorea macht deutlich, dass Normunternehmertum in unterschiedlichen Graden und Phasen des Normenzyklus auftreten kann und lasst Ruckschlusse auf die Erfolgsbedingungen von Normunternehmertum zu. Die Befunde legen ausserdem nahe, 'Schurkenstaaten' nicht langer ausschliesslich als irrationale Gegner zur normativen Ordnung aufzufassen, sondern sie als legitime Teilnehmer an einer Auseinandersetzung uber eine angemessene Herrschaftsordnung zu begreifen.
This volume comprehensively covers a range of issues related to
dynamic norm change in the current major international arms control
regimes related to nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons; small
arms and light weapons; cluster munitions; and antipersonnel mines.
Arms control policies of all of the key established and rising
state actors are considered, as well as those of nonaligned
countries, nongovernmental organizations, and international
governing bodies.
This volume comprehensively covers a range of issues related to dynamic norm change in the current major international arms control regimes related to nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons; small arms and light weapons; cluster munitions; and antipersonnel mines. Arms control policies of all of the key established and rising state actors are considered, as well as those of nonaligned countries, nongovernmental organizations, and international governing bodies. Recent studies on multilateral arms control tend to focus mostly on structure, by which opportunities and constraints for action are created. This volume pays equal attention to agency, through which opportunities and constraints to produce change or maintain the status quo are handled. In addition-and in greater depth than in recent studies-the volume acknowledges the force of moral and ethical impulses (alongside such factors as political, legal, and technological change) in the evolution of arms control norms.The volume begins with a look at the structure of regimes, at the conflicts residing in these structures, and at the dynamic processes in which these conflicts are worked out. The impact of extrinsic factors on norm dynamics is considered next, including technological change and shifts in attitudes and power structures. Essays on the role of agency in driving norm change conclude the volume, with a particular focus on norm entrepreneurship and the importance of acknowledging the competing justice claims surrounding norm-change efforts.
