The Oxford Handbook of International Adjudication

Abstract

Abstract The Oxford Handbook of International Adjudication offers a comprehensive study into the development, proliferation, and functions of international adjudicative bodies. The Handbook is divided into six parts. Part 1provides an overview of the origins and evolution of international adjudicatory bodies. Part 2 analyses the orders and families of international adjudicators. Part 3 discusses the theoretical approaches to the study of international adjudication, including those from the fields of political science, sociology, and philosophy. Part 4 examines crucial issues in contemporary international adjudication, including the behavior, role, and effectiveness of international judges; the political constraints restricting their function; and lawmaking by international courts and tribunals. Part 5 focuses on key actors in international adjudication, including international judges and litigators, the international bar, and registrars. Finally, Part 6 discusses selected legal and procedural issues of international adjudication, such as the judicial ethics, jurisdiction and admissibility, and inherent powers of international courts.
