- This book explains why there has been a pronounced disjuncture between R2P’s ascendency to centre of international political debate, and its actual influence. While the inter-disciplinary analysis is rich in empirical detail, its major contribution is the establishment of the concept of a ‘hollow norm’ which provides a unique framework for understanding the circumstances under which norms influence state behaviour. The fate of R2P is situated within the broader post-positivist constructivist understanding of norms, and thus provides a new illustration of norm co-optation. The book won the 2019 British International Studies Association Working Group on Intervention and R2P Book Prize.
