Series: Norm Research in International Relations

Grappling specifically with the norm of sovereignty as responsibility, the book seeks to advance a critical constructivist understanding of norm development in international society, as opposed to the conventional – or liberal – constructivist (mis)understanding that still dominates the debate. Against this backdrop, the book delves into the institutionalization of sovereignty as responsibility within the lived practice of the International Criminal Court (ICC). More to the point, the proposed exploration intends to revive questions about the power-laden nature of the normative fabric of international society, its dis-symmetries, and its outright hierarchies, in order to devise an original framework to operationalize research on how – institutional – practice impinges on norm development. To this end, the book resorts to an original creole vocabulary, which combines the contributions of post-positivist constructivist scholars with the legacy of key post-modernist thinkers such as Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida, as well as critical approaches to International (Criminal) Law and Post-Colonial Studies. The book will appeal to scholars of international relations and international law, in addition to critical scholars more broadly, as well as to practitioners in the fields of human rights and international justice interested in normative theory and the implementation and contestation of international social norms.

She has held several visiting fellowships, including at the School of Law and Social Justice of the University of Liverpool, the Centre for the Politics of Transnational Law (CePTL) of the VU University Amsterdam, the Global Governance Unit of the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB), the School of Law and Politics of Cardiff University, in addition to being a Ryoichi Sasakawa Young Leaders Fellowship Fund (SYLFF) fellow. Her research and teaching have encompassed the broad field of Critical International Theory, with a special focus on critical approaches to the formation of normative orders, critique of liberal orders, and post-qualitative approaches to social research. With a long record of solidarity activism, the author has also held several roles in governmental, international, and local organisations and institutions, operating in that capacity in several regions worldwide.

Reviews for Norm Contestation, Sovereignty and (Ir)responsibility at the International Criminal Court: Debunking Liberal Anti-Politics

“This book asks whether, and to what extent, the International Criminal Court (ICC) strengthens what several commentators herald as a transition towards a regime of ‘sovereignty as responsibility’. … As such, it will be of interest to a broad range of audiences, including those working in International Relations and international political theory, the emergence of norms and the inner workings of international organizations.” (Erna Burai, International Affairs, Vol. 99 (4), 2023)
