When states' survival is at stake, do states behave according to
norms, do states refrain from using certain weapons based on norms
against their use? Adachi presents a comprehensive analytical
framework for analysing norm dynamics, incorporating the existing
literature, while expanding the norm life cycle model to address
contestation of, resistance to diffusion of, and disappearance of
norms. He also examines the changing nature of international
society, and how the evolving characteristics of this society
change how norms are shared. His focus is on norms relating to the
use and non-use of weapons, with examples of how norms developed in
different places and at different times with regard to particular
types of weapons. From the banning of gun use in Japan under
Bushido, to international bans on chemical weapons and the
foundation of norms on nuclear weapons, he looks not only at how
such norms come about, but how they can become contested or
disappear. A valuable contribution to the literature on norms in
International Relations, this volume will be of particular interest
to scholars and students with an interest in the control of arms.
