Summary:

"How do norms emerge, evolve, and change at the global level? The introduction to this book lays out the complex interplay between scientific reasoning and political pressures in shaping global norms through international organizations. These organizations act as focal points in global normmaking, where scientific expertise and political mandates collide. In these settings, policymakers are dual loyalists: they are loyal to the states that appoint them, but also highly trained experts with worldviews derived from their educational and professional socialization. These individuals negotiate to codify norms into concrete plans for action. These 'scripts' embody a synthesis of political and scientific rationales, thus bringing more attention to the interplay between geopolitical interests of states and the kinds of expertise that feed into normmaking processes. This chapter presents an empirical framework to dissect these processes, combining quantitative and qualitative analyses to showcase how IOs develop, modify, and codify global norms. The main implication is that political and scientific interactions shape policy scripts, revealing the pivotal role of diverse expertise within IOs in determining policy direction and the evolution of global norms"-- Provided by publisher.
