“…These variables aim to account for the density, contagion, or norm cascade effect identified in much of the world society literature that suggests the prior behaviour of other countries globally often is associated with the eventual adoption of similar institutions by late-adopters (Ramirez, Soysal and Shanahan 1997;Schofer and Longhofer 2011;Wotipka and Ramirez 2008).…”

“…Less attention has been paid to the recursive relationship 4 Boli and Thomas 1999;Frank 1997;Hughes et al 2009;Paxton, Hughes, and Reith 2015) and/or the number of international treaties and conventions that have been ratified by a state (Clark 2010;Hafner-Burton and Tsutsui 2005;Wotipka and Ramirez 2008). Similarly, the density of world society norms/models had frequently been indicated by the number of states that have previously adopted similar institutional frameworks and models (Swiss 2012;Jang 2003;Ramirez et al 1997;Wotipka and Ramirez 2008). In this article I deploy similar measures of treaty ratification and international organization memberships to proxy the embeddedness of states in world society.…”

This article analyzes the relationship between foreign aid and globalization to explain developing country ties to world society and argues that foreign aid can be viewed as a recursive mechanism through which donor states refine and spread international norms and organizational ties. Using network data on foreign aid relationships between countries this article analyzes the effects of aid on human rights treaty ratification and international organization memberships in a sample of 135 less developed countries from the period of . Results of random effects panel regression models show that increased aid network centrality brokers increased country ties to world society, supporting a novel interpretation of foreign aid as a transnational process of political globalization.

“…In the case of human rights treaty ratification these standards of good standing are transmitted via international conferences, organizations, and peer group ratification (Berkovitch 1999, Boli and. Treaty ratification is one way to enact the "script" of modernity in this view (Wotipka and Ramirez 2008), rendered more likely when the nation-state is embedded in the structures of international society. But to the extent that ratification is mere enactment of these external scripts, it represents nothing more than "isomorphism" -or the adoption of superficially similar formal policies without their internalization.…”

Among the explanations for state ratification of human rights treaties, few are more common and widely accepted than the conjecture that states are rewarded for ratification by other states. These rewards are expected to come in the form of tangible benefitsforeign aid, trade, and investment -and intangible benefits such as praise, acceptance, and legitimacy. Surprisingly, these explanations for ratification have never been tested empirically. We summarize and clarify the theoretical underpinnings of "reward-forratification" theories and test these propositions empirically by looking for increased international aid, economic agreements and public praise and recognition following ratification of four prominent human rights treaties. We find almost no evidence that states can expect increased tangible or intangible rewards after ratification. Given the lack of empirical support, alternative explanations seem more appealing for understanding human rights treaty ratification.

“…Los resultados de los estudios transnacionales dan cuenta de la relación entre la asunción de los derechos humanos y las aspiraciones de universalidad de los conocimientos impartidos por los sistemas educativos alrededor del mundo. Dicho discurso universalista no se limita a expandir los derechos, por ejemplo, de la mujer (Wotipka & Ramírez, 2008) sino que demanda el reconocimiento de los derechos de las mujeres como derechos humanos, al igual que los derechos de los niños, adultos mayores, discapacitados, gays y lesbianas, inmigrantes, y los de las minorías étnicas y/o pueblos originarios. Lo mismo puede decirse del argumento acerca del medio ambiente y la democracia .…”
