| Summary: | This chapter discusses whether and to what extent social psychological theories and research findings on punishment between individuals and/or groups can be transferred to punitive acts in international politics. The chapter first distinguishes different types of punishment (e.g., second- vs. third-party punishment) and reviews their relevance for punitive acts in the political context. It then discusses research findings on goals and motives that individuals pursue when punishing other people and the question of whether states (and other relevant actors in international politics) pursue similar goals/motives when sanctioning other states, nations, or political groups. The chapter also considers the relevance of cultural factors (i.e., culture of honor norms) and restorative justice procedures for the aftermath of conflicts in the political arena. It is concluded that social psychology offers an informative and fruitful perspective on punishment in international politics. |
