Increased international interdependence has also greatly increased the potential for international conflict in various areas such as trade, competition, the environment, and human rights. Observers have counted up to 40 international courts that serve to settle such conflicts. What are adequate criteria to measure the effectiveness of international courts? What factors explain the differences in their success? What factors explain the differences of nation-state governments in delegating competence to international courts in the first place? With this volume the "Jahrbuch für Neue Politische Ökonomie" has changed its title to "Conferences on New Political Economy".Contributors:Daniel Sutter, Kai Ambos, Anne van Aaken, Stefan Oeter, Eric Neumayer, Lars P.
