About this book

In a dispute, governments weigh up their options when selecting between various dispute settlement mechanisms. By scrutinising the interaction of institutional design with state interests, this book analyses why particular forums are selected in maritime boundary disputes.

Reviews

"In her award-winning research, Aletta Mondré suggests that states actively engage in 'forum shopping', and highlights the factors informing their choice of a particular form of settlement. Combining detailed case studies and solid analysis of dispute settlement regimes, her book presents a refreshing take on one of the big contemporary debates at the fault lines of international law/IR scholarship. It deserves a wide readership." - Christian J. Tams, University of Glasgow, United Kingdom

"This is a terrific book. Empirically rich and theoretically innovative, it is a must read for all students of international dispute settlement." - Bernhard Zangl, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität MĂ¼nchen, Munich

"Carefully argued and rich in historical detail, this book is highly recommended for all those who share the author's interest in peace and conflict studies, in international institutions and in the role of international law in world politics." - Klaus Dingwerth, Universität St.Gallen, Switzerland
