Abstract

This chapter takes a counter-intuitive approach by arguing that “rogue states”—perceived norm breakers—can also function as norm makers. Wunderlich links her argument to recent critical norm studies that have begun to inquire norm-promoting efforts by unconventional types of actors, such as non-Western and “illiberal” norm advocates or norm antipreneurs. She also ties into research on norm contestation and resistance toward international norms in order to come up with alternative explanations for the relationship of alleged “rogue states” and norms.

Footnotes
1
As examples of subsidiary norms, Acharya cites sovereignty, territorial integrity, formal equality, non-intervention, and regional autonomy.
 
2
In practice, however, such efforts might have the opposite effect of strengthening the efforts of norm entrepreneurs, who see themselves obliged to defend the norm (interpretation) that they propagate (Carpenter 2014).
 
3
Consequently, he compares affirmative and negative strategies: constructing/deconstructing problems; network building/unbuilding; activating/deactivating institutions; agenda setting/unsetting; persuasion/dissuasion; promoting/demoting outcomes (Bob 2012: 21–33).

While Bob uses the term “negative” strategies, I feel destructive is the more appropriate term.
