“…Rationalist accounts of norm acceptance contest that elites make a rational decision when deciding which norms to use by recalculating their strategies (Goldstein and Keohane 1993). Similarly, Cortell and Davis (1996) argue that when confronted with international norms, actors recalculate their strategic choices in order to gain legitimacy in domestic policy debates. This is akin to Checkel (1997) who suggests that whether elites internalize or merely utilize international norms depends on the nature of the domestic political institutions, that is, on the structure of state-society relations.…”

This paper studies environmental norm contestation in Cambodia's hydropower sector, exemplified by the Kamchay Dam. In Cambodia we can observe different discourses in relation to hydropower. These stem directly from a local contest over the path of Cambodia's development, but use global norms as reference points: one emphasizes environmental protection, using EIA as point of reference; and one emphasizes the utility of CDM to attract large-scale investment into the energy sector while downplaying the need for environmental protection. While EIA and CDM are complementary, key actors present them as contradictory. This produces a normative fragmentation of the field of environmental protection. The article argues that the norm diffusion literature, by presenting norm conflicts as hierarchical local-global conflicts, has paid insufficient attention to the fact that local actors actively draw on global norms to justify domestic development policies. More emphasis on this phenomenon will lead to a better understanding of the role of global norms in domestic politics and will enhance our knowledge of how domestic development policies are contested.

“…An in depth studies in the interest of specific policy making or others may be motivated and designed to illuminate what factors are most determinative leading to that specific outcome. For example, the response of US government to the Iraqi invasion may be explained by the realist lens, which is primate within the department of political science (Cortell, A., & Davis, J., Jr., 1996). They may raise a hidden hand of oil politics if the region would be strategically crucial in that aspect.…”

“…The global issue I have selected is how legalization of marijuana in the United States might impact and be impacted by international law. Global rules and standards often impact what individual countries do via the actions of their own politicians (Cortell and Davis, 1996). Additionally, treaties trump legislation because they are the highest level of regulation (Laureate, 2009).…”

“…Alguns estudiosos introduziram a análise dos jogos de dois níveis proposta por Putnam (1988) nos modelos explicativos da política comercial, o que permitiu a explicação de situações em que as negociações internacionais afetavam o processo político doméstico e vice-versa (Cortell e Davis Jr., 1996;Davis, 2003;Goldstein e Martin, 2000). De forma geral, a introdução dessa dinâmica buscou explicar como instituições internacionais promovem a liberalização comercial na presença de forte pressão de grupos domésticos (Davis, 2003:2).…”

E ste artigo busca discutir a dinâmica da participação dos atores domésticos não governamentais no processo decisório de política econômica externa, em especial no tocante às questões comerciais, e sua interação com atores governamentais em diferentes contextos institucionais. Para tanto, são discutidas as respostas que a literatura de ciência política, relações internacionais e economia oferece para as seguintes perguntas: (a) os atores domésticos não governamentais -ou societários -influenciam as decisões de política econômica externa?; (b) o que determina as preferências desses atores por políticas específi-cas?; (c) que características institucionais do processo decisório oferecem maior ou menor permeabilidade às demandas dos atores domésti-cos?; (d) como interagem atores governamentais e societários e que variáveis institucionais afetam essa interação?Como apontam Frieden (2000) e Rodrik (1994), um modelo explicativo da política comercial deve conter quatro elementos básicos. Primeiro, uma explicação sobre as variáveis que influenciam as preferências in- 871Revista Dados -2010 -Vol. 52 n o 4 * Este artigo se baseia na dissertação de mestrado do autor, intitulada Preferências Domésticas e Diplomacia Comercial: A Posição Negociadora Brasileira sobre o Comércio de Serviços nas Rodadas Doha e Uruguai, apresentada ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Relações Internacionais da Universidade de Brasília (UnB) em 2008.
