This article introduces a mode of social action and interaction that has so far been largely overlooked in the U.S.-dominated international relations debate between rational choice and social constructivism that focuses mainly on the differences between instrumental rationality and norm-guided behavior. Drawing on insights from a theoretical debate within the Germanspeaking international relations community, I suggest that actors have a third mode of social action at their disposal: arguing and deliberating about the validity claims inherent in any communicative statement about identities, interests, and the state of the world. Arguing and truth-seeking behavior presuppose that actors no longer hold fixed interests during their communicative interaction but are open to persuasion, challenges, and counterchallenges geared toward reaching a reasoned consensus. The preconditions for argumentative rationality, particularly a “common lifeworld” and the mutual recognition of speakers as equals in a nonhierarchical relationship, are more common in international relations than is usually assumed. Arguing processes are more likely to occur the more actors are uncertain about their interests and even identities, the less they know about the situation in which they find themselves and the underlying “rules of the game,” and the more apparently irreconcilable differences prevent them from reaching an optimal rather than a merely satisfactory solution for a widely perceived problem (“problem solving”). Moreover, arguing is likely to increase the influence of the materially less powerful, be it small states or nonstate actors such as INGOs. I illustrate these claims empirically with two plausibility probes. The first concerns the East–West talks leading to a negotiated settlement of the Cold War in Europe and German unification within NATO. The second case focuses on the implementation of international human rights norms into domestic practices of Third World states.

“…The more international norms and rules resonate or are compatible with pre-existing collective identities and beliefs at the domestic level, the easier is their internalization and the more likely is compliance. This "resonance hypothesis" (Ulbert 1997a;Checkel 1997Checkel , 1999bCortell and Davis 1996;Jetschke 1999) is already captured by the first hypothesis of this study (misfit as pre-condition for noncompliance). But society-centred constructivism offers another important insight, from which a fruitful hypothesis about compliance can be derived.…”

“…152 In other countries, such as the Philippines and Indonesia, various state and non-state agents integrated transnational human rights principles and notions into local and often conservative conceptions of nationalism. 153 A more extreme form of nationalisation of the human rights discourse is evident in China. 154 As Levy and Sznaider assert, 'the prominence of human rights .…”

Human rights NGOs in Israel: collective memory and denial

This article discusses the complex interrelations between human rights, memory, forgetting and denial by analysing the discourses and practices of Israeli human rights organisations with respect to the past of the Palestinian people, particularly the events that took place in 1948. It examines how and why Israeli organisations dialectically remember and repress elements of the local past, and align themselves with the prevailing national silencing of the discussion on the Palestinian refugees' future rights, particularly their right of return. The article concludes by exploring the implications of these practices on the organisations' capacity to significantly impact the Israeli-Palestinian future.
