Norms and Their Effect on Humanitarian Aid
Abstract
This paper will explore the motives behind and criteria for humanitarian aid and multilateral intervention in civil conflicts using the constructivist approach of Martha Pinnemore. The intervention of international actors in the ongoing conflict in Haiti will be examined with this constructivist approach. This paper argues that norms created and enforced within the international community motivate states to participate in intervention and aid in civil conflicts.
