NORMATIVE CHANGE AND SECURITY COMMUNITY DISINTE...

This book develops a theoretical and empirical argument about the disintegration of security
communities  and the subsequent breakdown of stable peace among nations  through a process of
norm degeneration. It draws together two key bodies of contemporary IR literature - norms and
security communities - and brings their combined insights to bear on the empirical phenomenon
of disintegration. The investigation of normative change in IR is becoming increasingly
popular. Most studies  however  focus on its progressive connotation. The possibility of a
weakening or even disappearance of an established peaceful normative order  by contrast  tends
to be often either neglected or implicitly assumed. Normative Change and Security Community
Disintegration: Undoing Peace advances the contemporary body of research on the important role
of norms and ideas by analytically extending recent Constructivist arguments about
international norm degeneration to the regional level and by applying them to a particular type
of regional order - a security community.
