Operationalizing the Responsibility to Protect
14. Juni 2012
Authors’ Conference
The example of the Responsibility to Protect reveals that there is a gap between normative innovation and the practice of norm implementation. This is particularly true for the ever-shifting patterns of global politics. The prevalent two-step view of norms (first, norms are decided upon; second, they are implemented) has obvious limits. This authors’ conference discusses the non-linearity of global norm developments, the global practice of norm implementation, and the ways, even workarounds, how actors try to operationalize norms in political decision-making and practical policy implementation.
This author's workshop is jointly organized by the Center of Excellence "Cultural Foundations of Integration" at University of Konstanz, the Center of Excellence "Normative Orders" and the Project “Transformation of Security Culture”, both at Goethe University Frankfurt/Main. Convenors are Prof. Wolfgang Seibel (University of Konstanz), Prof. Christopher Daase and Julian Junk (Goethe University Frankfurt).
