Socializing Democratic Norms de T. Flockhart

Socializing Democratic Norms: The Role of International Organizations for the Construction of Europe

T. Flockhart

This volume offers a timely and important study on how norms are transferred from the international into the domestic domain through processes of socialization. It seeks to understand the process of change in post-Cold War Europe from a divided continent into a community with a common identity, based on shared values and ideas. It also offers an explanation for why the process of change has occurred easily in some countries and with more difficulty or not at all in others.
