The international responsibility to protect and norms of international criminal
justice are increasingly contested. These conflicts seem to be casting doubt on
the possibilities for global governance. Are such liberal norms and rules only
accepted in the political West? In order to examine the opportunities of global
governance, this report investigates the influence of regional actors on the global
order. When do regional security organizations contribute to fragmenting this
global order and when do they strengthen it? The study finds that the acceptance
of global norms and rules is primarily a matter of procedural justice. When
regional actors recognize that they do not have a say in how global norms are
implemented in their region, they will tend to reject these norms. The study
concludes with recommendations for political practice.
Dr Matthias Dembinski is a project director and Dr Dirk Peters is a senior researcher
