Description
Judging under Constraint explores the strategic behavior of international courts operating within politically constrained environments. Theresa Squatrito investigates how courts like the International Court of Justice balance their judicial mandates with the political pressures and incentives they face from state actors and the international community.
The book challenges conventional assumptions about judicial independence by demonstrating that international courts must often exercise deference to maintain their legitimacy and effectiveness. Through detailed case studies and empirical analysis, Squatrito reveals how courts strategically manage their dockets, craft opinions, and navigate enforcement challenges. This work provides crucial insights into the politics of international adjudication and the institutional constraints that shape judicial behavior on the world stage.
