Conflict resolution in times of backlash

Abstract

The success of multilateral agreements in tackling societies’ most pressing challenges hinges on effective mechanisms to resolve conflicts and ensure compliance. However, multilateral cooperation, including agreements on environmental protection or combatting climate change, have been attacked by autocratic and populist governments. We know little about how backlash against multilateral cooperation impacts compliance mechanisms and conflict resolution through courts, including the implementation of agreements and judgements. This Panel invites Papers from political scientists, legal scholars, and researchers from adjacent fields who study these processes from conceptual, empirical, and normative perspectives.
