“…A proliferating literature in IR theory now explores the impact of transnational advocacy networks (TANs) on global public policy making (Burgerman 2001;Florini 2000;Keck and Sikkink 1998;Khagram et al 2002;Thomas 2002). TANs are transnational networks of activists motivated by shared principled discourse who aim to affect political behaviour through moral argument (Price 2003).…”

“…All social networks are 'network[s] of meanings' (White 1992: 67); advocacy networks are networks of principled meanings, which vary by issue area. For example, in the area of human rights, the principled meanings have to do with the rights and obligations between political actors and human beings (Hawkins 2002;Joachim 2003;Keck and Sikkink 1998;Risse et al 1999;Thomas 2002), and the constitutive actors differ from networks around climate change or conflict diamonds.…”

“…One option is to give rhetorical "lip service" to norms while trying to avoid the obligations. Thomas (2002) notes that such lip service can trap states through a "boomerang effect" by which networks of non-state actors influence states when they identify with international norms that the states have formally accepted-"even if that formal acceptance did not initially reflect any serious intention to implement or monitor the norm in question." Dixon (2017) proposes a taxonomy of rhetorical resistance to norms in the face of social pressure, including norm interpretation, norm avoidance, and norm signaling.…”

“…First, regarding the former criticisms, scholars argued that intellectuals’ paradigmatic frameworks cannot persist if they lack grounding in popular values. From this vantage, a “top‐down” focus on the intellectual resocialization of the mass public risked obscuring “bottom‐up” popular influences on intellectual debates (On the latter, see Thomas 2010; Momani 2010; Park 2010b). Such insights would be developed by Leonard Seabrooke (2006), who emphasized “everyday” influences on policy beliefs, as well as by Adler himself (Adler and Bernstein 2005:296), as he situated his earlier stress on epistemic communities in an analysis of the larger “epistemes… [which shape] the way people construe their reality.” Extending these interactive insights, scholars further stressed the ways in which intellectuals’ beliefs could in turn generate not only institutional pathologies but also destabilize wider norms, with adverse systemic consequences 9 .…”

“…This “boomerang effect” has since been examined in relation to changing state, multilateral and corporate policies for the environment and human rights (Risse et al. 1999; McAteer and Pulver 2009; Park 2010b; Thomas 2010). 11…”
