Question 1

How do transnational advocacy networks (TANs)enforce compliance with norms?

Accepted Answer

TANs are important for ensuring the enforcement of norms.They generally are able to ensure enforcement of norms by calling attention to violations of widely held norms.This is a practice called "naming and shaming." Naming and shaming can damage a state's international reputation,and because states typically value a "good" reputation,states will be more likely to comply with norms that are considered appropriate.If a country continues to violate a norm,TANs can mobilize domestic citizens as well as the "court of world opinion" to further damage a state's reputation.States that violate norms frequently may develop a reputation as an international pariah that other states will be reluctant to trust.
