Note
Social Norms are a central building block of human communities, as they influence individual behavior in social contexts. Unlike law, social norms are not introduced and enforced by central authorities. They emerge spontaneously, can be stable over very long periods, but can also decay quickly. This leads to several intriguing research questions. How do norms emerge? To what degree do they actually change individual behavior? How do norms disseminate in a large population and when are norms stable? Based on sociological, social-psychological and game-theoretical literature, this seminar will develop answers to these questions. The seminar will focus on the question whether social norms can help fight societal challenges such as the pollution of environment and climate change. Since national actors appear to struggle with tackling such global challenges, social norms might become an important approach to tackle them. As a consequence, the seminar will also be concerned with the question how norms can be influenced.
