    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Polemology; international relations; social constructivism; norm entrepreneur; norm evolution; international norms; Swedish foreign policy; the European Union; conflict prevention; the United Nations; Freds- och konfliktforskning;

    Sammanfattning : This study is concerned with tracing the process of how conflict prevention is moving from the realm of ideas to the field of action.

The study investigates whether the growing interest in preventing the outbreak of violent conflicts marks the coming of age of conflict prevention as an international norm able to induce preventive practices.
