No systematic study discusses the evolution of fair and equitable benefit-sharing across various areas of international law (environment, human rights, oceans), as well as at different levels of regulation (regional and national laws and guidelines, private law contracts, transboundary codes of conduct, customary laws of indigenous peoples and local communities). This article explores the usefulness of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of norm diffusion for understanding how and why fair and equitable benefit-sharing is articulated in different sites. The article discusses mechanisms, actors and frames in norm diffusion, drawing on literature from sociology, international relations and law. The article uncovers underlying similarities in scholarship on norm diffusion across the disciplines considered. It also reflects on the value of an interdisciplinary approach that encourages legal scholars to consider the implications of power structures in the diffusion of law, while the nuances of legal knowledge may lead other social scientists to revisit accepted findings on norm diffusion. These findings appear particularly useful for informing an assessment of the potential of fair and equitable benefit-sharing to promote the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources in a fair and equitable manner in the face of power asymmetries.

规范传播的跨学科方法需求：公平和公正的利益分享案例。

没有系统的研究讨论国际法各个领域（环境，人权，海洋）以及不同级别的法规（区域和国家法律与准则，私法合同，跨界法典）公平和公正的利益共享的演变行为，土著人民和地方社区的习惯法）。本文探讨了跨学科方法对规范传播的研究的有用性，该方法对于理解如何以及为何在不同地点阐明公平和公正的利益分享是有用的。本文利用社会学，国际关系和法律方面的文献，探讨了规范传播的机制，参与者和框架。这篇文章揭示了在所考虑的学科之间关于规范传播的学术研究中的潜在相似之处。它还反映了一种跨学科方法的价值，这种方法鼓励法律学者考虑权力结构对法律传播的影响，而法律知识的细微差别可能会导致其他社会科学家重新审视公认的关于规范传播的发现。这些发现似乎对于通知评估公平和公正的利益分享潜力，以面对电力不对称以公平和公正的方式促进自然资源的保护和可持续利用的潜力特别有用。
