Antje Wiener examines the involvement of local actors in conflicts over global norms such as fundamental rights and the prohibition of torture and sexual violence. Providing accounts of local interventions made on behalf of those affected by breaches of norms, she identifies the constraints and opportunities for stakeholder participation in a fragmented global society. The book also considers cultural and institutional diversity with regard to the co-constitution of norm change. Proposing a clear framework to operationalize research on contested norms, and illustrating it through three recent cases, this book contributes to the project of global international relations by offering an agency-centred approach. It will interest scholars and advanced students of international relations, international political theory, and international law seeking a principled approach to practice that overcomes the practice-norm gap.

Reviews for Contestation and Constitution of Norms in Global International Relations

Advance praise: 'This is an ambitious and interesting book which examines and theorizes about the different ways in which global norms are subject to contestation - objected to as well as critically engaged with - by a variety of stakeholders across different settings. The three case studies of UN targeted sanctions (with a focus on the Kadi case), the prohibition against torture (with a focus on the Rumsfeld case) and the prohibition on sexual violence against women during wartime, are rich and detailed. It should be of interest not just for international relations scholars and theorists, but international lawyers too.' Grainne De Burca, New York University Advance praise: 'This book, an exemplar of global international relations, brings a provocative theoretical approach and rigorous methodology to the study of norms and normative change, taking account of local as well as global dynamics, powerless as well as powerful actors. Asking 'whose practices count' and 'who has access' to what types of contestation, Antje Wiener shows how normative change is always constituted in a multilogue among differently situated and unequal stakeholders.'
