- Title
Normübersetzungsforschung als Beitrag zur Dezentrierung vermeintlich universeller Standards.

- Abstract
Liberal norms such as human rights have long been the focus of constructivist norm research, but feminist, post- and de-colonial approaches have reconstructed them as ambivalent: The revelation of both emancipatory potential and principled exclusion and devaluation inherent in these norms has diminished their legitimacy as global standards. The norm translation approach conceptualizes norms as ideationally ambiguous fields that are always linked to particular interests and practices, and as undergoing a dual dynamic of translation, ideational and practical, through the agency of diverse actors. This perspective can shed light on a broad set of context-specific and interwoven discourses and practices and contribute to the decentering of supposedly universal standards. The contribution of this approach is illustrated through the analysis of a concrete example, namely the linkage between the international anti-child marriage norm and the abolition of child marriage in Trinidad and Tobago.
