Abstract:
|
One of the perennial problems vexing the contemporary international system is the presence of states that are not in compliance with international norms of behavior. Sometimes termed “rogue” states, these not only include states which break treaties and resort to the first use of force in militarized disputes, but also those that commit democide or genocide, those which are non-compliant with international WMD agreements, those which are corrupt, and those which are politically repressive. The agenda of the Security Council of the United Nations centers around just such states, and their lack of norm compliance undermines the trust and cooperation so necessary to a stable international system. What predisposes nations to become states of concern to the international community? Some have opined that lack of freedom allows dysfunctional leaders to enact their own psychopathologies on a larger stage. Others suggest that extreme nationalism or extreme religious fundamentalism breeds intolerance and ends-means justifications of the most self-serving and amoral variety. In this paper, we would like to explore an alternative, or perhaps complementary, explanation to those listed above. Does a society’s ill treatment of women create templates of pathologic narcissism in the leaders, nationalist movements, and religious movements that arise within that society—which, in turn, would be manifest in nation-state behavioral norm non-compliance? The theoretical framework employed in this empirical exercise is what we term the Caprioli-Agacinski theory of gender/state violence. Our means of investigating this theory with reference to those states of concern to the international community is the WomanStats Database. |
