To what extent are global rule-of-law norms, which external actors
promote in post-conflict states, localized? Who decides whether
global standards or local particularities prevail? This book offers
a new approach to the debate about how the dilemma between the
diffusion of global norms and their localization is dealt with in
global politics. Studying the promotion of children's rights,
access to public information, and an international commission
against impunity in Guatemala, Lisbeth Zimmermann demonstrates that
rule-of-law promotion triggers domestic contestation and thereby
changes the approach taken by external actors, and ultimately the
manner in which global norms are translated. However, the leeway in
local translation is determined by the precision of global norms.
Based on an innovative theoretical approach and an in-depth study
of rule-of-law translation, Zimmermann argues for a shift in norm
promotion from context sensitivity to democratic appropriation,
speaking to scholars of international relations, peacebuilding,
democratization studies, international law, and political theory.
