"Do International Legal Norms Affect Citizens’ Willingness to Punish Foreign Human Rights Violations?" – With Tonya Putnam. This paper uses a survey experiment to assess whether international human rights treaties make a difference to the willingness of citizens in established democracies to punish the human rights violations of foreign governments. This is the first in a series of papers identifying reasons that existing large-N studies on the impact of international human rights law on state behavior may erroneously find such laws have no impact. Under review.
