The Daruma Dilemma: EU-Japan Relations and the Death Penalty

Master thesis | International Relations (MA)
The purpose of this thesis is two-fold – first of all, it aims to examine the extent to which the concepts of norm diffusion as conceptualized by NPE theory are capable of explaining the lackluster diffusion of abolitionist norms due to the comparatively “low political salience” within the relationship (Bacon, Mayer, & Nakamura, 2016, p. 108). Secondly, this thesis examines the normative roles of both the EU and Japan, analyzes the justifiability cultural relativism of ‘universalist’ norms propagated actors such as the EU and both the intended and unintended consequences of secrecy in effective norm diffusion.
