Descripciones mejoradas de Syndetics:

In an increasingly complex and interdependent world, states resort to a bewildering array of regulatory agreements to deal with problems as disparate as climate change, nuclear proliferation, international trade, satellite communications, species destruction and intellectual property. In such a system, there must be some means of ensuring reasonably reliable performance of treaty obligations. The standard approach to this problem, by academics and politicians alike, is a search for treaties with teeth - military or economic sanctions to deter and punish violation.

Library Journal Review

Bridging legal and political science scholarship, this unique book is an important contribution to the literature on treaty compliance and international regimes. Harvard Law School professor Chayes and his wife, both recognized experts on dispute settlement, approach this issue in the context of a "new sovereignty" characterized by complex networks of global cooperation and interdependence. Invoking numerous examples, all meticulously analyzed, they challenge the effectiveness of treaty enforcement by sanctions and promulgate a managerial model of compliance based on positive inducements to change state behavior. Although their underlying assumptions and strategy will not convince inveterate political realists, by exposing the limitations of punitive enforcement measures and advancing the case for voluntary incentives for compliance, they promote constructive thinking about alternative methods of international conflict resolution. This book will find a welcome home in international law and international relations collections and should generate considerable intellectual discussion.-David Ettinger, Gelman Lib., George Washington Univ., Washington, D.C.
