Instrumental or intrinsic? Human rights alignment in intergovernmental organizations

Published in Review of International Organizations, 2021

Why do states’ human rights records converge with co-members in intergovernmental organizations (IGOs)? This study provides new insights on whether interactions in IGOs have the capacity to genuinely transform state preferences or whether norm diffusion is a consequence of instrumental processes.
