This paper relies on the literature on law and social norms to note the often overlooked power of revenge norms in certain areas, and to suggest ways in which states with relatively scarce police and judicial resources can abate the destructive potential of such norms in regions over which they cannot establish direct administrative control. The analysis proceeds in two main parts. It begins with a theoretical discussion of revenge, exploring motivations behind vengeful action, the connection between individual motivation and revenge norms, and ways in which such norms can change. The second part applies the theoretical framework developed in the first part in the context of two states where revenge norms still inflict high social costs-Afghanistan and Albania. Each case study illustrates different types of challenges that administrators could face in attempting to implement the approach recommended here. The paper concludes with a summary of the broad principles to be taken into account during any attempt at the abatement or transformation of revenge norms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
