Article Abstract:
A general theoretical framework for weighing the importance of norms and interests is developed and tested in the case of US asylum enforcement with respect to 42 countries of origin during and after the cold war. There is no evidence that the importance of norms relative to interests has increased overtime, contrary to the predictions of some constructivists.
