R2P: The Various Effects of Norm Contestation
The international responsibility to protect (R2P) is seen as one of the most promising normative innovations on the international level. Still, since its adoption on the UN World Summit in 2005, the R2P has been contested recurrently from diverse actors. What effects does this contestation have on the norm? Two hypotheses exist: One posits that contestation necessarily weakens a norm, the other stipulates that contestation rather strengthens norms.
Assessing the hypotheses
The international collaborative project “R2P: The various effects of norm contestation” assesses both hypotheses and tests their explanatory power. In this context, the project analyzes debates surrounding the norm at both the international and the regional level (focusing on the European Union and ASEAN).
This project is being conducted in collaboration with the University of New South Wales, Australia (Dr. Alan Bloomfield, Professor Shirley Scott).
