- 요약What are the consequences of foreign criticism? I challenge the conventional understanding of the "effectiveness" of naming and shaming, which has traditionally been limited to examining the reactions of states targeted by foreign criticism. Instead, I develop a multi-audience theory of shaming which suggests that foreign criticism is a deliberate strategy in which political actors simultaneously communicate messages to the shamed society ("targets"), their constituents back home ("shamers"), and the international community at large ("third-party observers"). My theory posits that by publicly criticizing transgressive governments, state actors can improve their image domestically and internationally despite potential backlash in the target state, but that by reinforcing their moral image they, ironically, increase their public's tolerance for certain domestic abuses. My theory thus sheds light on the puzzling prevalence of shaming as a political strategy even when it evokes a counterproductive `backlash' effect in the shamed country, providing insights into its motives, and intended and unintended consequences.To examine the range of consequences associated with shaming, I investigate the impact of shaming on public opinion in three audiences: targets, shamers, and third-party observers, relying on an unusual combination of large-scale survey experiments fielded in multiple countries and large-n observational analysis. In particular, I conducted experimental surveys in seven democracies with over 29,000 respondents, combining insights from case-specific survey experiments with a meta-analysis in which the experimental design is held constant across multiple countries. Taking seriously concerns of generalizability, effects that I identify through survey experiments are then corroborated with cross-national observational analyses of global trends of government shaming in the UN Universal Periodic Review (UPR) combined with data collected by the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES) and the World Values Survey (WVS). Overall, I show that while shaming can incite a counterproductive backlash effect, it allows shamers to signal their dedication to international norms at home and abroad. Paradoxically, this moral signaling can increase tolerance for certain domestic abuses, which has implications not only for scholars of international relations but also for policymakers who rely on shaming as a prevalent diplomatic tool.
