Zusammenfassung:
Punitive practices are highly revealing of a society's social fabric, its normative order, & power structure. This volume examines the penal philosophies & practices in international society. The contributions show the added value of a punitive lens to international politics in two major ways: First, punitive practices reveal the contours of the international normative order, its structures, & hierarchies. Such a view highlights the prominent position of individuals in the current normative order, but it also reveals a major divergence in the international normative order between a global North that emphasizes individualized, retributive punishment for atrocity crimes & a global South that puts reparations for past colonial wrongs on the agenda. Second, in contrast to a nation-state, the authority to sanction & act in defense of the normative order is far more dispersed & contested in international society.
