This book explores the national adoption and implementation of international norms. With a focus on how transnational expertise and experience networks and local content policies affect a norm reaching compliance, analysis on norm final outcomes is expanded beyond traditional studies on the strength of the international norm, the ability to overcome value conflicts, and the influence of specialised lobby groups. Through examining case studies of two Russian universities, the life cycle of international norm adoption is illustrated from inception to domestic implementation.
