Why are these violations so persistent? What are the limits of legalization for protecting human rights norms? Conventional wisdom offers a variety of answers to these questions, but most often they conflate laws and norms and focus only on state actions that violate both. While this focus is undoubtedly valuable, it does not capture cases in which states violate human rights norms without technically violating the law. Norm breakers are not necessarily lawbreakers. Focusing exclusively on norm violations that are illegal obscures the possibility that agents could violate norms in a legal manner, engaging in actions that are awful but lawful.\u003cbr\u003ePresenting rich case studies of the French expulsion of Roma immigrants from 2007 to 2017 and the Czech segregation of Roma children in schools for those with mild mental disabilities between 1993 and 2017, \u003ci\u003eEvading International Norms\u003c\/i\u003e argues that the violation of human rig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA compelling and insightful book…\u003ci\u003eEvading International Norms\u003c\/i\u003e sheds new light on the urgent and understudied problem of racial discrimination against the Roma in Europe. The book also contains broader theoretical, empirical, and practical insights for interdisciplinary research on the relationship between international laws and international norms… The book deserves to be read by legal scholars and practicing lawyers interested in racial discrimination, human rights, and the limits of international laws and institutions to effectuate social change. * American Journal of International Law *\u003cbr\u003eZoltán I. Búzás successfully demonstrates how states use law to violate norms with reference to the Roma in Europe, and in doing so, shows that we have too often conflated norms and laws, looking only at practices that violate both, while ignoring the ways in which states may nominally comply with laws while violating the norms on which they are based. \u003ci\u003eEvading International Norms\u003c\/i\u003e is not only a brilliant contribution to our understanding of international law and norms but also an empirical contribution to the literature on race and international relations. * Charli Carpenter, University of Massachusetts-Amherst *\u003cbr\u003eIn\u003ci\u003e Evading International Norms\u003c\/i\u003e, Zoltán I. Búzás develops a new theory of norm evasion, exploring how and under what conditions states evade international legal norms, and tests his theory with two meticulously conducted case studies that provide new and important insights into the role of race and the rights of the Roma in international relations. The book is original, rigorous, and will have a clear and well-deserved impact on multiple fields of scholarship and public policy. * Mark Pollack, Temple University *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I.
