    The Authority of International Courts in a Complex World a Book Prospectus

    The Authority of International Courts in a Complex World A book prospectus Karen J. Alter, Laurence R. Helfer and Mikael R. Madsen eds. In 2013, iCourts, a Center of Excellence for International Courts, at the University of Copenhagen launched an interdisciplinary study of how political and social contexts shape the authority of international courts (ICs). The result of our efforts is a unique analysis of how different ICs operate in a wide range of contexts. We propose to expand this project into a book, inviting experts on the authority and legitimacy of international institutions to consider the complex reality that our symposium reveals. The initial project, based on two workshops under the editorial leadership of Karen Alter, Larry Helfer and Mikael Madsen, will result in a special edition of the peer-reviewed journal Law and Contemporary Problems, to be published in the summer of 2015. At the first workshop, symposium participants debated how various contextual factors affected the operation of different ICs and identified a common object to study: the “varied authority” of international adjudicators. The editors then developed a framework to conceptualize and measure IC authority and a list of contextual factors that plausibly explain why similarly designed ICs have attained different levels of political and legal influence. A second workshop discussed the framework and nine papers by contributors who applied to the framework to one or more judicial institutions about which they have extensive empirical knowledge. The papers were revised in light of extensive feedback, resulting in a special issue that poses serious questions about the problems, prospects and achievements of ICs around the world.
  • Collective Action Problems in Monitoring Managers the Enron Case As a Systemic Problem

    Collective Action Problems in Monitoring Managers the Enron Case As a Systemic Problem

    COLLECTIVE ACTION PROBLEMS IN MONITORING MANAGERS THE ENRON CASE AS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM By Peter Gourevitch University of California, San Diego [email protected] At the core of the Enron disaster lies a problem of considerable conceptual interest and importance: the obstacles to collective action which arise when an agent (in this case the managers) is monitored by many principals (in this case the shareholders) rather than one principal (Lyne and Tierney, 2002). This occurs often in politics and other areas, and deserves some attention not only to understand the problems of corporate governance and the human suffering caused by the Enron failure but also to understand the type of problem more broadly (Shinn and Gourevitch, 2002). In the Enron case, stockholders were taken advantage of by managerial greed, reinforced by the collusion among “reputational intermediaries” who play an important part in the monitoring system. The Enron case also informs the lively discussions that compare corporate governance systems—the shareholder model of the US and the UK in contrast with the stakeholder model associated with Germany and other countries in continental Europe (Aguilera and Jackson, 2002; Dore, 2000; Lazonick, 2000; Berger and Dore, 1996; La Porta, et. al.2000.) The US model is said to protect the rights of external shareholders from the abuses that can be carried out by “inside owners,” or blockholders common in the stakeholder model. And it appears to do so. But the US model has a vulnerability which arises out of its virtues: the laws that protect external investors create fragmented ownership, which in turn creates a collective action problem: no one has an incentive to pay the transactions costs required to monitor the managers.

ALTER, THE NEW TERRAIN OF INTERNATIONAL LAW: COURTS, POLITICS, RIGHTS (PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS 2014). PP. 480. PAPERBACK $ 35.00. In The New Terrain of International Law, Karen Alter argues that the international courts of today perform more roles and do so with greater effect on world politics than their predecessors did.1 In theorizing the roles of modern international courts and illustrat- ing their effects on national and international law and policy, Alter has established a new plateau in scholarship on international courts, one upon which many others will surely build. Alter’s agenda is ambitious: she aims to show that “new-style” international courts (ICs) are producing a “judicialization of international relations” that is “diminishing gov- ernment control over how international legal agreements are understood domestically and internationally.”2 To accomplish that goal, the book offers a theory of the functioning of modern international courts, traces their emergence, maps their empirical terrain, and of- fers case-study explorations of the effects—both domestic and international—of specific IC decisions.

Current scholarship provides only partial insight into this question. It has focused almost exclusively on existing international courts, overlooking the vast number of failed attempts at international judicialization. This Article offers one of the first systematic and historically-grounded analyses of attempts to create international courts throughout the 20th century, evaluating both successful and failed cases across a diverse set of issue areas. The analysis demonstrates that international legal crises are often of great importance in facilitating international judicialization. Crises unsettle the international legal order. Eager to restore it, governments become more willing to cooperate with one another and to overcome their prior reluctance about creating an international court. Crises also provide new opportunities for legal networks to advocate for the creation of international courts. This analysis helps explain why specific international courts came into being while a large number of others that were proposed during the 20th century never saw the light of day. It provides guidance for those seeking to create new international courts. Finally, it sheds light on the efficacy of international courts, a subject of

ARTICLE Does International Human Rights Law in African Courts Make a Difference? DANIEL ABEBE Is international human rights law effective in Africa? Extant studies assess effectiveness by focusing on the potential of individualAfrican regional and sub-regional courts to promote human rights and influence domestic actors. Howeverfew f any studies actually evaluate the entire human rzghtsjurisprudence of the five major African courts withjurisdiction to hearhuman rights claims. In this Article, I examine the entire human rights caseloadof these courts from 1988 through 2015 alongfour important dimensions of effectiveness: (1) court structure; (2) volume of cases; (3) compliance rate; and (4) funding andindependence. The Articlefinds thatAfrican regionaland sub-regionalcourts are facing significant challenges as they struggle with structural deficiencies, meager caseloads, low compliance rates, andpersistent budgetary issues. The Article then describes the institutional, procedural, and operational challenges that limit the effectiveness of African regionaland sub-regionalcourts and concludes that, based on a case-specific model of effectiveness, much improvement is necessary before the courts can become effective in vindicating human rights claims.
