International Law Book Roundtable
During the spring semesters, the Institute hosts informal, day-long roundtable, bringing together a small group of distinguished scholars to explore recently published works by prominent scholars in the field of international law.
"Socializing States: Promoting Human Rights Through International Law"
During the fall, Temple University Beasley School of Law's Institute for International Law hosted an international law roundtable, bringing together a small group of distinguished scholars to discuss "Socializing States: Promoting Human Rights through International Law" by Ryan Goodman and Derek Jinks.
The book examines three specific mechanisms for influencing state practice: coercion, persuasion, and acculturation, and describes the distinct, and sometimes competing, logic of each mechanism. Goodman and Jinks use these mechanisms to prescribe strategies for various actors to exploit those institutions to promote human rights.
Roundtable participants prepared short reaction papers, which were circulated prior to the workshop. Participation at the Roundtable was by invitation only.
