Abstract
This article conceptualises the agency of the governed as the ability to alter the meaning of travelling norms in ways that make them meaningful within a specific context, and to thereby also change the social and political dynamics that unfold there. These translations do not simply unfold between the global and the local but run along translation chains in which different actors become linked while also translating global norms differently. The article analyses such a process of translation by examining the translation of ‘the rule of law’ within one development project with non-state courts in rural Bangladesh.
