Handbook on the Politics of International Agreements

Edited by Siniša Vuković and P. Terrence Hopmann

Abstract: This Handbook presents a nuanced exploration of international agreements, proposing that they are fundamentally political endeavors. It argues that agreements are born from mixed-motive situations, the crucial space where parties have both overlapping goals and conflicting interests.
