BOOK SUMMARY:
This book is the outcome of a joint collaboration between the Max Planck Institutes from Heidelberg and Luxembourg. Following the workshops, the outcomes of our inter-institutional discussions were taken further in writing. Generally speaking, the topic of our discussions was not all-together new, to be sure. The legitimacy of international institutions, more specifically international courts, has been scrutinized for quite a while. However, our volume is particularly interesting because it showcases a variety of new approaches, mostly from younger scholars, on how to tackle the issue. The focus of the project also changed over time. It became an opportunity to debate and elaborate on how to justify the legitimacy of specific international courts; and also to investigate how, given the issues being dealt with by international courts, particular elements of legitimacy ought to be brought into discussion. The result was an astonishing collection dealing with both theoretical and practical questions regarding the legitimacy of international courts and how such problems relate to fundamental problems of the times in which we live. The author focuses on issues of international dispute settlement, in Luxembourg and Heidelberg.
