Thirst for Justice: The International Court of Justice

This textbook goes beyond a straightforward account of the International Court of Justice. At its heart lies a deeper question: does the work of the ICJ retain meaningful relevance for the world community, and if so, does it do so despite the emerging dynamics of a multipolar world order, or perhaps precisely because of them? To answer that question, the book takes a deliberately judicial approach. The bulk of its pages are devoted to the close examination of some of the most significant cases in the Court’s entire history, including those of its predecessor, the Permanent Court of International Justice (PCIJ). In doing so, it uncovers what are often the best-kept secrets of this venerable institution: its actual judgments, and what they reveal about the evolution of international law across the decades. Three chapters structure the work around the Court’s past, present, and future. The opening chapter traces the history of the ICJ from its institutional roots, including the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) and the PCIJ, through the exceptional and often turbulent arc of the twentieth century. Written in accessible language, it introduces readers to the Court’s main functions, its composition, and its structure, offering a nuanced portrait of an institution that came of age during one of history’s most consequential periods. The cases examined in the two subsequent chapters were selected through a rigorous process involving a broad pool of experienced international lawyers. In total, fourteen cases and one Advisory Opinion are analysed, proceedings that have already shaped the international legal order and are likely to continue doing so in matters of considerable consequence. Dit leerboek gaat verder dan een rechtlijnige beschrijving van het Internationaal Gerechtshof (ICJ). Centraal staat een diepere vraag: behoudt het werk van het ICJ een wezenlijke betekenis voor de internationale gemeenschap, en zo ja, doet het dat ondanks de opkomende dynamiek van een multipolaire wereldorde, of misschien juist dankzij die dynamiek? Om die vraag te beantwoorden, kiest het boek bewust voor een rechterlijke benadering. Het grootste deel van het boek is gewijd aan een nauwgezette analyse van enkele van de belangrijkste zaken uit de volledige geschiedenis van het Hof, waaronder die van zijn voorganger, het Permanente Hof van Internationale Justitie (PCIJ). Daarbij worden de vaak best bewaarde geheimen van deze eerbiedwaardige instelling blootgelegd: haar daadwerkelijke uitspraken en wat deze onthullen over de ontwikkeling van het internationaal recht door de decennia heen. Drie hoofdstukken structureren het werk rond het verleden, het heden en de toekomst van het Hof. Het openingshoofdstuk schetst de geschiedenis van het ICJ, vanaf zijn institutionele wortels – waaronder het Permanente Hof van Arbitrage (PCA) en het PCIJ – tot aan de uitzonderlijke en vaak turbulente ontwikkeling van de twintigste eeuw. In toegankelijke taal maakt het de lezer vertrouwd met de belangrijkste taken, de samenstelling en de structuur van het Hof, en biedt het een genuanceerd beeld van een instelling die tot volle wasdom kwam tijdens een van de meest ingrijpende perioden uit de wereldgeschiedenis. De zaken die in de twee daaropvolgende hoofdstukken worden behandeld, zijn geselecteerd via een zorgvuldig proces waarbij een brede groep ervaren internationaal juristen betrokken was. In totaal worden veertien zaken en één advies (Advisory Opinion) geanalyseerd: procedures die de internationale rechtsorde reeds diepgaand hebben beïnvloed en naar verwachting ook in de toekomst richtinggevend zullen blijven voor vraagstukken van groot internationaal belang.

Beyond Google Scholar

Students often struggle to find relevant literature for their thesis projects. The main aim of this tutorial is two-fold, namely to teach students (1) how to find relevant literature using various databases and search strategies and (2) how to critically reflect on the role of digital databases and Generative AI tools in their search process. The package includes a lecturer’s manual and two versions of the same tutorial: one with steps in Excel and one without. The tutorial can be delivered as an in-class workshop (2–3 hours) or assigned as a take-home assignment. The databases and tools used in this tutorial include Zotero, Google Scholar, Project MUSE, JSTOR, ChatGPT, and Excel. The tutorial can be used in any higher education classroom and is particularly suitable for courses that prepare students for writing a BA or MA thesis.

How To Write A Quantitative Research Paper

So, you need to write a ‘quantitative’ research paper, and you want to know: what is the correct way of writing such a paper? The answer is, unfortunately: it depends … For one, there is no universally accepted, ‘correct’ way of writing any paper in the social sciences in general. Moreover, even just within the so-called ‘quantitative’ research tradition specifically, there exist different viewpoints on what makes for a good research paper. To muddy things up even further, how to write a paper will also depend on the specific research question(s) that it addresses. Hence, even the same scientist might opt for varying approaches in different papers. Having said that, it is possible to identify some common rules and practices that are often followed, as well as a number of practices that should generally be avoided. Based on these common rules and practices, this document is meant to help you on your way with writing a ‘quantitative’ research paper by offering a number of tips, tricks and rules-of-thumb. None of these rules and practices are set in stone, and you (or your teacher/supervisor) may have excellent arguments to deviate from them. However, in general, following them will greatly increase the quality of your paper.
