“…The failure of implementation is not seen on this horizontal level, but rather on the vertical level of how norms translate (Zimmermann, ; Zwingel, ), localize (Acharaya, ; Tholens & Groß, ), and are appropriated (Großklaus, ) in local contexts, that is, how local contexts influence the meanings of norms (Wiener, ). Some scholars have looked more specifically at the negotiation of norms in the postconflict space (Björkdahl, ; Björkdahl & Gusic, ; Groß, ; Tholens & Groß, ; Zimmermann, ), and these studies show that these spaces open up for substantial negotiation over the prescriptions and parameters of international global norms; it is a time where norms of the past are negotiated against envisioned norms for the future.…”
