ABSTRACT
Conceptually, “shaming” has been analyzed through both rationalist and constructivist accounts of international politics. Rationalist explanations focus on the material effects of shaming strategies, whether on their costs to actors who are shamed (Lebovic and Voeten 2009) or on their benefits to international cooperation (Franklin 2008). Shaming enters into the neoliberal institutionalist analysis of cooperation as a corollary to the interest-based analysis of reputation and the effect of the shadow of the future upon inter-state interactions (Hafner Burton 2008).
