This Chapter outlines the design of a theoretical framework for explaining response to norm conflict. It is comprised of five parts: (1) a theoretical discussion of norms, how they work and the decision-making problem that arises in situations of norm conflict; (2) an analysis of the logic of actions International Relations Theory (IRT) provides and their short-comings in explaining decision-making in situations of norm conflict; (3) the outline of a consequentialist, but socially embedded approach to norm following; (4) an overview of the universe of possible responses to norm conflict on the basis of a consequentialist, but socially embedded approach to norm following; and finally (5) a discussion of the methodology, including case selection and the research methods used for this study. |
