The existing scholarship in international relations (IR) has tended to underrate the conceptual implications of different types of shaming. This article advances a new terminology of shaming. Drawing from social and criminal psychology, the article distinguishes the social distancing effects of shaming that is disintegrative from the community-building effects of shaming that is reintegrative. This is important because it offers additional ways of seeing how it may be equally important to shed light on the multifaceted role and multiple effects of shaming in maintaining social order in world politics. The main argument raised here is that reintegrative shaming – shaming, which is followed by efforts to reintegrate the offender back into the community – is central to peaceful conflict resolution in a security community. This argument is empirically illustrated by the case of NATO’s military intervention in Libya.

现有的国际关系 (IR) 学术研究往往低估了不同类型羞辱的概念含义。本文提出了一种新的羞辱术语。本文从社会和犯罪心理学出发，区分了具有瓦解性的羞辱的社会疏远效应与重新整合的羞辱的社区建设效应。这很重要，因为它提供了更多的方式来看待阐明羞辱在维护世界政治中的社会秩序方面的多方面作用和多重影响如何同样重要。这里提出的主要论点是重新整合的羞辱——羞辱之后努力让罪犯重新融入社区——是安全社区和平解决冲突的核心。
