Abstract

Whereas the rational choice approach to international law has been widely accepted in legal scholarship and international relations theory, challenges to the rational choice paradigm in economic analysis of international law have hitherto not been systematically explored. Nevertheless, behavioral law and economics and psychology have been successfully applied to national law constellations. Behavioral economic insights have furthermore been used in international relations scholarship under the heading of political psychology but international norms are neglected. Building on all those insights, the article explores the potential and challenges of extending the behavioral law and economics approach to public international law and thus to further refine our understanding of international law. It looks specifically at treaty design problems and compliance questions. This ties in with increased use of empirical research in international law: a clear desideratum for evidence-based international law.

行为国际法律与经济学

虽然国际法的理性选择方法在法学和国际关系理论中已被广泛接受，但迄今为止，对国际法经济分析中理性选择范式的挑战尚未得到系统的探讨。然而，行为法和经济学、心理学已经成功地应用于国家法律星座。在政治心理学的标题下，行为经济学的见解进一步被用于国际关系学术，但国际规范却被忽视了。在这些见解的基础上，本文探讨了将行为法和经济学方法扩展到国际公法的潜力和挑战，从而进一步完善我们对国际法的理解。它特别关注条约设计问题和遵守问题。这与在国际法中越来越多地使用实证研究有关:显然需要以证据为基础的国际法。
