The Rarity of Rewarding
Explaining the drivers of compliance with international law has been a central concern of international lawyers (and many others) for decades. As international agreements have proliferated—exact numbers are elusive, but there may be 75,000 or more—understanding compliance has only grown in importance.

This book develops a theory of international law to explain how concerns about reciprocal…
