Patterns of Change: A State to Non-state Level Comparison
摘要
The discourse and behavior of states change as a result of changing international norms. However, less scholarly attention has been focused on how norms affect the discourse and behavior of non-state actors. Andrew Cortell and James Davis note that “the first sign of an international norm’s domestic impact is its appearance in the domestic political discourse” (Cortell and Davis 2000). Applying that idea to non-state actors, this chapter examines international norms in the discourse of two rebel groups, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
