All treaties, from human rights to international trade, include
formal exceptions that allow governments to legally break the rules
that they have committed to, in order to deal with unexpected
events. Such institutional 'flexibility' is necessary, yet it
raises a tricky theoretical question: how to allow for this
necessary flexibility, while preventing its abuse? Krzysztof J.
Pelc examines how designers of rules in vastly different settings
come upon similar solutions to render treaties resistant to
unexpected events. Essential for undergraduate students, graduate
students, and scholars in political science, economics, and law,
the book provides a comprehensive account of the politics of treaty
flexibility. Drawing on a wide range of evidence, its
multi-disciplinary approach addresses the paradoxes inherent in
making and bending international rules.
