“…There are a number of studies that focus on fish quota allocation criteria, some of which allude to distributive justice or equity; for example, refs. [7,10,[13][14][15][16][17][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. But most of these studies concentrate on describing what the criteria are and which ones have been adopted by which organisations.…”

Allocating fish quota is a hotly disputed issue across the world, and many different criteria have been employed to achieve it. However, little attention has been devoted to examining the fairness of those criteria. This study aims to fill this gap by focusing on the eight most prominent criteria that have been used or proposed—prior use; market forces; historical entitlement; geographical proximity; sovereign right; economic dependence; environmental stewardship; and equal shares—and examining their respective ethical credentials as principles of distributive justice. The assumption lying behind this aim is that if agreement can be reached on which criteria are the fairest, future conflicts over quota allocations might be averted. The method used to conduct this research was normative analysis, and the materials analysed were obtained from databases such as the Web of Science. However, the study found that the ethically strongest criteria are environmental stewardship and economic dependence, but the most prevalent criteria are historical entitlement and geographical proximity (zonal attachment). So, the principles of distributive justice that are most likely to be applied are not the fairest principles but the principles with the greatest political support. For some commentators, this signifies that justice and ethics have been sacrificed to power and politics. However, there is some evidence that the tide is turning and the arguments in favour of fairness, perhaps in hybrid forms, are beginning to gain momentum.

“…This leads to two general questions: first, does a detailed normative substance exist and, second, should a legal structure be equated with a normative structure? These questions are particularly relevant for studies working with the "principle of contestedness" (Wiener 2014(Wiener , 2017, promoting the influential concept of "contestation". Is there a concrete, stable and powerful normative structure to be contested and is the contestation of macro-structural norms more relevant than the interpretation, "localization" (Acharya 2004) or diverging implementation of norms?…”

Norms Are What Machines Make of Them: Autonomous Weapons Systems and the Normative Implications of Human-Machine Interactions

The emergence of autonomous weapons systems (AWS) is increasingly in the academic and public focus. Research largely focuses on the legal and ethical implications of AWS as a new weapons category set to revolutionize the use of force. However, the debate on AWS neglects the question of what introducing these weapons systems could mean for how decisions are made. Pursuing this from a theoretical-conceptual perspective, the article critically analyzes what impact AWS can have on norms as standards of appropriate action. The article draws on the Foucauldian “apparatus of security” to develop a concept that accommodates the role of security technologies for the conceptualization of norms guiding the use of force. It discusses to what extent a technologically mediated construction of a normal reality emerges in the interplay of machinic and human agency and how this leads to the development of norms. The article argues that AWS provide a specific construction of reality in their operation and thereby define procedural norms that tend to replace the deliberative, normative-political decision on when, how, and why to use force. The article is a theoretical-conceptual contribution to the question of why AWS matter and why we should further consider the implications of new arrangements of human-machine interactions in IR.

According to Wiener's (2016) classification scheme, the type-1 through type-3 norms are connected through a hierarchical structure she labels 'normative grid'. 5 The findings of case studies of the contributors can be summarized as that most contestation occurs around the type-2 norm level.…”

The idea of the European Union being increasingly contested, whether globally or at home, is a frequently reiterated notion. It is believed that such challenges to the European integration stem from a number of diverse but interlinked global and intra-EU crises that, combined, amount to the current 'perfect storm' affecting the EU and its foreign, security and defence policy. We will explore here how the EU is being put to the test in terms of the norms and fundamental values which guides its foreign policy. It is an important issue within the broader debates of the European crises, as such norm contestation may have a deeper structural and longer-term effect on the EU's external action and its 'resilience' as an international actor.We employ insights from the norm contestation literature to scrutinize a number of the most important current challenges articulated against EU foreign policy norms in recent years, whether at the global, 'glocal' or intra-EU level.The idea that the European Union is being increasingly contested, whether globally or at home, is a notion frequently expressed by high-level EU representatives as well as in contemporary academia. For example, the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, stated in a letter to European leaders that to his mind "[t]he challenges currently facing the European Union are more dangerous than ever before in the time since the signature of the Treaty of Rome"
