Abstract
This article addresses the question of how national governments decide to (1) sue in the International Court of Justice and (2) respond to being sued. The findings are based upon a series of confidential interviews with individuals who were either personally involved or had some governmental in-house familiarity with the cases examined. The study concludes with some empirically based generalizations on the factors considered by the governments involved, as well as evidence of the role the judicial process played in the bargaining process which eventually resolved the disputes.
