Peaceful Resolution of Disputes
Series: - American Classics in International Law, Volume: 5
Editor:
The contributions in this collection of the American Classics in International Law series, Peaceful Resolution of Disputes, edited by Lori Fisler Damrosch, present the most influential American ideas about dispute settlement. From Alexander Hamilton’s 1794 defense of arbitration, through 20th-century debates over the International Court of Justice and other international courts and tribunals, to contemporary controversies over law-of-the-sea dispute settlement, American leaders and scholars have promoted perspectives on dispute resolution shaped by the American experience. An introductory essay explores American ideas about dispute resolution in relation to war, the judicial role in resolving concrete controversies under law, and problems of institutional design.
Lori Fisler Damrosch, the Hamilton Fish Professor of International Law and Diplomacy at Columbia Law School in New York, is a former Editor in Chief of the American Journal of International Law and past President of the American Society of International Law.
