| Title | Fundamental Norm Contestation, an English School Analysis of Revisionism from Within the International |
| Summary | With the current world order coming under rising pressure due to the increasingly multipolar nature of the international system, the likelihood of revisionist tendencies in states may rise too. However, there seems to be a lack of engagement with literature on revisionist states by the English School. That is why this paper questions whether a state can be revisionist while still operating within the norms of the international society. This paper performing discourse analysis on speeches made by two revisionist leaders in similar situations that produced different outcomes. By analyzing how these two narratives engage with the norms of the international society to justify their revisionist goals, this paper finds that revisionism in states is compatible with a continued membership of the international society. Furthermore, it finds that revisionist states can portray themselves in any number of ways by using the language of the norms of the international society to lend themselves its legitimacy. |
