How individuals shape informal institutions: Analyzing contending norm promotion in the Global South
Original language description
Why do some actors possess more leverage to diffuse norms than others? Although it is often assumed that norm diffusion simply 'happens' through the interaction of political and cultural systems, we argue that individuals and institutional flexibility play a crucial role in the success and failure of norm diffusion. Analyzing the contending interpretation and diffusion of the Common but Differentiated Responsibilities (CBDR) norm between the Independent Alliance of Latin America and the Caribbean (AILAC) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) within the UNFCCC, we illustrate how larger political mandates, the use of informal negotiation platforms and the skills and connections of negotiators played a crucial role in the respective success and failure of norm diffusion. While the more flexible and ad-hoc AILAC was able to effectively diffuse its interpretation of CBDR into the climate regime, the strictly intergovernmental ASEAN was unable to do the same. These findings advance the literature on norm entrepreneurs from the Global South and support several assumptions of the informal institutions theory. They also show, however, the importance of individuals as a defining condition of both norm entrepreneurship and the functioning of institutional platforms.
