Synopsis
This book explores the institution of the International Criminal Court (ICC) as a policy instrument. It argues that after the Cold War the European Union started challenging the unilateral policies of the United States by promoting new norms and institutions, such as the ICC. This development flies in the face of traditional explanations for cooperation, which would theorize institutionalization as the result of hegemonic preponderance, rational calculations or common identities. The book explains the dynamics behind the emergence of the ICC with a novel theoretical concept of normative binding. Normative binding is a strategy that provides middle powers with the means to tie down the unilateral policies of powerful actors that prefer not to cooperate. The idea is to promote new multilateral norms and deposit them in institutions, which have the potential to become binding even on unilateralist actors, if the majority of states adhere to them.

"Salla Huikuri's book on the emergence and institutionalization of the organization is therefore highly interesting from the point of view of peace research. ... This book is not only a fascinating history of the origin of the ICC, but also an important contribution to the theory of institutionalization of international norms and to cosmopolitan theories on the emergence of global security regimes." (Timo Kivimaki, Journal of Peace Research, February 27, 2019)
