A fascinating investigation of the social norm movement and the implications of a powerful collective pursuing radical social change through contentious interventions across the Global South.Social change is slow and difficult to achieve. Dissatisfied with the lack of progress in eliminating inequalities, a powerful collective has converged around social norms as the next silver bullet to accelerate social change around the world. The movement is currently mobilizing immense funding, garnering the attention of powerful policy makers, and experimenting with radical interventions across the Global South.In Good Will Corrupting, Adam Fejerskov takes us from the Ethiopian highlands to convention halls in Marrakech, and from fourteenth-century palazzos in Florence to both the West and East Coasts of the US, to understand this growing movement pushing social norm interventions in the name of progress, development, and health. A powerful scientific and moral project, the social norm collective harnesses insights from social psychology, behavioral economics, and game theory in its attempt to radically improve the lives of people in poor communities around the world.Good Will Corrupting traces not just the ambitions and impacts of the collective but also its inherent struggles to give meaning to this idea and bring it to life through interventions. Rooted in empirical explorations and feminist thought, this book shows just how incremental, nonlinear, and endogenous social and normative change often turns out to be and argues for a decolonization of efforts to change social norms around the world. - Häftad, Engelska, 2020

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has established itself as one of the most powerful private forces in global politics, shaping the trajectories of international policy-making. Driven by fierce confidence and immense expectations about its ability to change the world through its normative and material power, the foundation advances an agenda of social and economic change through technological innovation. And it does so while forming part of a movement that refocuses efforts towards private influence on, and delivery of, societal progress.The Gates Foundation’s Rise to Power is an urgent exploration of one of the world’s most influential but also notoriously sealed organizations. As the first book to take us inside the walls of the foundation, it tells a story of dramatic organizational change, of diverging interests and influences, and of choices with consequences beyond the expected. Based on extensive fieldwork inside and around the foundation, the book explores how the foundation has established itself as a major political power, how it exercises this power, but also how it has been deeply shaped by the strong norms, ideas, organizations, and expectations from the field of global development. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of global development, international relations, philanthropy and organizational theory. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

This book examines the complex subject of violence against women (VAW), moving beyond ways of thinking that privilege Western positions and subordinate local perspectives. Chapters analyse the profound clashes between different perspectives on VAW, demonstrating how actors engage with such norms in diverse places from Ethiopian villages, to government offices in Addis Ababa, to meeting rooms in the UN headquarters in New York.Norms and Violence Against Women in Ethiopia proposes a novel theoretical framework that sees norms and normative engagement through interconnected situations rather than hierarchical chains. This decolonizing approach recognizes the equal legitimacy of different normative realities without privileging Western perspectives – questioning any notion of the global as universal and the local as periphery. The result is a nuanced understanding of norm interaction and contestation that better explains both resistance to and potential for social change. Chapters cover key issues including intimate partner violence, marital rape, and child marriage, as well as the impacts of positive masculinity on gender violence.This timely book is an essential resource for scholars and students of sociology, international relations, global governance, and postcolonial studies. Providing insights on resistance to the implementation of social norms, the book is also beneficial to practitioners of international development and political sociology. - E-bokPDF, Engelska, 2026
