Constructivist norm research is a lively and growing research programme in the field of international relations. Unsurprisingly, its increasing differentiation over the last three decades has raised questions about the ability to communicate across different academic camps. This edited volume enables dialogue by identifying commonalities and differences among academic camps from a metatheoretical perspective. The authors theoretically and empirically highlight new paths for critical norm research, foregrounding reflexivity and contingency, and critically discussing key concepts such as contestation, intersubjectivity and normativity. In this way, they reveal new paths towards critical norm research in this field. With contributions by Stephan Engelkamp, Sassan Gholiagha, Katharina Glaab, Antonia Graf, Hannes Hansen-Magnusson, Eva Herschinger, Maren Hofius, Daniel Jacobi, Kai Koddenbrock, Friederike Kuntz, Bastian Loges, Holger Niemann, Judith Renner, Frank Sauer, Henrik Schillinger, Linda Wallbott and Lisbeth Zimmermann. Die konstruktivistische Normenforschung hat sich in den letzten 30 Jahren fest in den Internationalen Beziehungen etabliert. Ständige Ausdifferenzierungen werfen Fragen nach der Möglichkeit des Austausches zwischen den unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Lagern auf. Aus metatheoretischer Perspektive benennt der Band Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten der Ansätze und bietet eine gemeinsame Sprache für den Dialog an. Die AutorInnen des Bandes legen theoretische und empirische Beiträge vor, die Kontextgebundenheit, Situiertheit und die Reflexivität gegenüber dem Forschungsgengenstand zeigen und diskutieren zentrale Konzepte von Umstrittenheit, Intersubjektivität und Normativität. Somit werden neue Wege der kritischen Normenforschung aufgezeigt.

Consumption Corridors: Living a Good Life within Sustainable Limits explores how to enhance peoples' chances to live a good life in a world of ecological and social limits. Rejecting familiar recitations of problems of ecological decline and planetary boundaries, this compact book instead offers a spirited explication of what everyone desires: a good life. Fundamental concepts of the good life are explained and explored, as are forces that threaten the good life for all. The remedy, says the book's seven international authors, lies with the concept of consumption corridors, enabled by mechanisms of citizen engagement and deliberative democracy. Across five concise chapters, readers are invited into conversation about how wellbeing can be enriched by social change that joins "needs satisfaction" with consumerist restraint, social justice, and environmental sustainability. In this endeavour, lower limits of consumption that ensure minimal needs satisfaction for all are important, and enjoy ample precedent. But upper limits to consumption, argue the authors, are equally essential, and attainable, especially in those domains where limits enhance rather than undermine essential freedoms. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in the social sciences and humanities, and environmental and sustainability studies, as well as to community activists and the general public.
