Lost in translation : a critique of constructivist norm researchHofferberth, Matthias ; Weber, Christian, politologIn their attempt to explain change in international politics, an emerging group of scholars in the 1990s emphasised the importance of "non-material factors". Questions about the creation, evolution, ... and impact of norms obtained a prominent place in their theorising. Cast in a constructivist frame, this norm research promised to be a viable alternative to established approaches and while it has indeed broadened the perspective on state behaviour in International Relations, we argue that at the same time it entailed major conceptual and methodological problems which have not yet been spelled out comprehensively. Mainly, the insight that norms are constantly renegotiated in social interaction has been lost in the translation of social-theoretical claims of early constructivism into empirical research agendas. The ensuing research is best characterised as a cultural-determinist framework which is ultimately ill-equipped for the initial proposition of explaining change. We develop this critique by reconstructing the theoretical and methodological decisions of constructivist norm research. We then propose to re-conceptualise the connection between norms and action and suggest an interpretive methodology that allows delivering on the ambitious promise to explain processes of normative change in international politics. We illustrate this claim by reviewing constructivist norm research on "humanitarian interventions" and by outlining a relational-processualist perspective on this issue.Source: Journal of international relations and development. - ISSN 1408-6980 (Vol. 18, no. 1, Jan. 2015, str. 75-103)Type of material - article, component partPublish date - 2015Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 33335645
