September 16th to 20th, MGIMO welcomed one of the most prominent modern international researchers, the Professor at George Washington University Martha Finnemore. The guest conducted a series of lectures at the University.
Martha Finnemore is one of the most famous constructivist scholars, who made a significant contribution to the study of how the diffusion of international norms impacts states’ foreign policy.
During her time at the University, Martha Finnemore delivered three lectures on the main topics she devoted her career to.
Professor Finnemore’s third lecture (September 19th) was devoted to the evolution of rules and norms on the world stage. The guests discussed with the audience the topic she is currently concentrating her efforts on: norm creation and implementation in cyberspace. The speed of technological change makes some areas hard to regulate through traditional international treaties and more flexible instruments are needed to successfully regulate them.
