Editorial Review:

In recent years, instruments and institutions for dispute settlement have multiplied. They now cover almost all areas of international law ranging from international economic law and international criminal law to more traditional fields such as arbitration procedures. Given this development, it became necessary, if not mandatory, to envisage a revised, updated and considerably enlarged second edition of the standard compilation of texts and materials on dispute settlement in public international law, which was first published in 1984 under the auspices of the Heidelberg Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law. Continuing that tradition, the second edition has largely retained the purpose and concept of the publication, namely to make available to researchers, scholars and practitioners a comprehensive collection of more than 150 different instruments which are otherwise sometimes rather difficult to find elsewhere.

Editorial Review:

Negotiating Under Fire explores how real-time and severe security crises between two nations impact diplomatic initiatives between those countries. Using the Baruch Goldstein Hebron massacre of 1994, the Nachshon Wachsman kidnapping and execution of 1994, and the nine-day string of suicide bus bombings carried out in Israel in March 1996 as case studies to examine the impact of terrorism on negotiations over Oslo II (the Gaza-Jericho Agreement), the book concludes that insurgents or those hostile to peace talks can and do undermine negotiations.

Editorial Review:

The heart of every international commercial agreement lies in its provisions for dispute resolution. These crucial terms must be negotiated with meticulous attention to the circumstances under which the ensuing business relationship is expected to grow. Well planned and drafted, these clauses will allow a business agreement to weather even the most serious disputes, and foster mutual confidence and trust between the parties. International Arbitration and Forum Selection Agreements focuses on the core issue that inevitably arises in the planning of international commercial agreements: when to use forum selection clauses and when to mandate arbitration. In this enormously useful primer, Gary B. Born, an outstanding international practitioner and author of several pre-eminent works in international commercial law, leads the business lawyer expertly through the planning and drafting stages of effective forum selection and arbitration clauses. He provides: + analysis of the strategic uses of each kind of clause, making it easy for the practitioner to choose which approach to take under each specific set of circumstances + sample clauses with numerous variations that allow for all likely contingencies + key accompanying provisions relating to costs, consent to service of process, discovery, confidentiality, waivers, interim relief, fast-track procedures, and other important considerations + detailed analysis of enforcement under applicable laws, conventions, and treaties + a special chapter on choice-of-law clauses (including samples) and their role in dispute resolution. A useful appendix contains texts of the New York Convention and the UNCITRAL Model Law, as well as the Arbitration Rules of the leading arbitral institutions.

Excellent 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I'm surprised that I'm the first reviewer of this book! When I took a course on International Negotiations last year, all my fellow students found Hopmann's book excellent. It is by far the most structured book I've ever read, with a very simple and concise language. After creating a simple, bilateral model of negotiation, Hopmann adds additional elements one-by-one, each of which makes the model both more complex and more realistic. First, he drops the assumption of equality between parties. Second, he modifies the assumption that individuals are perfectly rational. Third, Hopmann eliminates the assumption that negotiations are conducted by individuals (or a unitary actor) and focuses instead on the role of national bureaucracies and politics on negotiations. Fourth, he no longer views negotiations in static terms, but rather looks at how the interaction process itself affects the outcomes of negotiations. Fifth, he dismisses the assumption that the parties are negotiating in a vacuum and introduces the effects of the international environment. Sixth, he drops the assumption of simple bilateral negotiations and introduces the role of third parties as arbitrators and mediators. Seventh and finally, he expands the focus to include large, complex, and multilateral negotiations of the kind that occur in OAS and the UN. As Hopmann argues: "By adding these elements of complexity one at a time, we can best analyze what special impact each feature has on the overall relationship between the negotiation process and its outcomes." This book is truly a must-have for all those interested in negotiation. It is simple and understandable, providing concrete - and at times even "amusing" - examples.

Editorial Review:

This book argues for a reappraisal of the role of strategic coercion, defined as the deliberate and purposive use of overt threats to influence another's strategic choices, and emphasizes the importance of drawing on the experiences of countries other than the United States, and of considering the new circumstances of the post cold war world.

Editorial Review:

The ordeal of negotiating with North Koreans during the Cold War has left the impression of a "crazy" and "bizarre" diplomacy, of negotiators who insult and provoke their Western counterparts while fabricating crises and fomenting discord. As "Negotiating on the Edge" reveals, however, there is not only a method to this "madness" but also an ongoing shift toward a less provocative negotiating style.Drawing on interviews with an eminent cast of U.S. officials and marshalling extensive research on North Korea past and present, Scott Snyder traces the historical and cultural roots of North Korea's negotiating behavior and exposes the full range of tactics in its diplomatic arsenal. He explains why North Koreans behave as they do, and he argues that there is, in fact, an internal logic to what often seems to be outrageous conduct.Finally, Snyder explores how economic desperation and the end of the Cold War have forced North Korea to modify its negotiating style and objectives. Focusing on the U.S. negotiating experience with North Korea in the 1990s, Snyder also deals comparatively with recent South Korean and multilateral attempts to engage Pyongyang.

Editorial Review:

The urgency to tell the story of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the only republic in the former Yugoslavia to secede without bloodshed, is made more compelling by the conflict in Kosovo and NATO's military intervention. In this volume, Alice Ackerman offers an in-depth account of how Macedonia held onto peace during the violent breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Faced with ethnic tensions and the threat of the Bosnian war, this republic was spared the fate of Croatia and Bosnia because of successful preventive diplomacy. Throughout her discussion, Ackerman provides a framework of analysis that underscores the "art of conflict prevention". She notes the activity of the major players such as the United Nations and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) but maintains that groups such as the Working Group of the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia - although not in the public eye - accomplishes much through an "interactive workshop" approach to conflict management. Other organizations directed effort towards building sustainable peace through long-term projects on the social level. The crisis in Kosovo is still an unresolved piece of the Yugoslav puzzle, one that has led to the destabilization of Macedonia. With this book, however, Ackerman furthers our understanding of the challenge in conflict prevention in multi-ethnic and newly democratized societies.

Diplomatic Dispute Settlement: The Use of Inter-State Conciliation

Editorial Review:

Variations of conciliation are included in many instruments, particularly in multilateral agreements concerning the environment, human rights, international trade and investment protection. Conciliation is also used on an ad hoc basis for the resolution of disputes between States, such as in border conflicts. Nevertheless, the method is rarely studied in depth from either a legal or political aspect. Focusing on conciliation in a broad sense (including variations of mediation, inquiry and non-compliance mechanisms), Sven Koopmans offers a timely discussion of non-binding dispute settlement between States. The book argues that the lack of familiarity with conciliation both causes its popularity in treaties and its difficulties in practice. The author proposes a new way of looking at conciliation and at its potentials and restrictions, and assesses the usefulness of this way of settling disputes.
