The Pursuit of Legal Settlements to Territorial Disputes

Listed in Harvard Dataverse

Territorial disputes are a common source of armed conflict and war, yet, during the twentieth century, governments have resolved dozens of territorial disputes through recourse to international arbitration or adjudication.

Description

In this research we consider why governments agree to international legal dispute settlement as a means of resolving territorial disputes. We put forward and test three explanations for the decision to pursue legal dispute settlement: a realist explanation, a domestic “political cover” explanation, and a legal “focal point” explanation.

Results obtained from a series of generalized estimating equation (GEE) models reveal considerable support for arguments which highlight the domestic political cover function of international arbitration and adjudication.
