Abstract: Abstract This chapter studies transparency in international adjudication and attempts to contribute to the international adjudication literature in three ways. Firstly, by linking transparency in international adjudication with theories of compliance with international legal rules, this chapter attempts to provide a new perspective and to make a new case as to why transparency in international adjudication matters. Secondly, it attempts to measure transparency in international adjudication by both conducting a theoretically informed survey of de jure procedural transparency rules in eight adjudicating bodies and by empirically assessing their actual transparency practices using a novel dataset covering 1,284 disputes. The analysis suggests that the adopted transparency rules do not always result in proactive transparency practices. This chapter also studies the extent to which open disputes gather more media attention and finds evidence supporting this hypothesis.
