Justice and Fairness in International Negotiation
"In this excellent addition to the Cambridge Studies in International Relations series, Cecilia Albin asks why and how notions of justice and fairness matter in international negotiations. Her goal is not to articulate or to test any particular theories of international justice, but instead to explore the contours of moral psychology. Hers is an empirical task, not a philosophical one....Albin's case studies are detailed, thorough, and richly informative, and they yield a number of fascinating insights....Albin's study represents an important corrective to two unfortunate tendencies: the tendency for empirical political scientists to ignore the role and importance of moral considerations in political behavior, and the tendency for normative political theorists to ignore the nuances and complexities of real-world moral judgments when attempting to articulate abstract principles." Political Science Quarterly
International negotiations have become an increasingly widespread feature of international affairs, as the number of parties involved have grown, and regional and global fora have multiplied. Cecilia Albin examines the role of considerations of justice and fairness in these negotiations. Les mer

Political Science Quarterly
"Cecilia Albin's book strikes out in a novel direction by examining issues of justice and fairness in four sets of international negotiations...Albin's work provides the reader with a well-researched volume that supplies a structured analysis of a topic fraught with subjective evaluations of justice, fairness, right and wrong...[It] should be applauded for bringing these components of international negotiation more directly to the fore." International Affairs
"Justice and Fairness in International Negotiation breaks new ground. It is one of the few large-scale efforts to apply ethical criteria to important international phenomena and to do so empirically by using an articulated theoretical framework. Other scholars can profitably build on Albin's work. Her conceptualization is clear, her framework is comprehensive, and the importance of international ethics is further embedded in our collective consciousness." Perspectives on Politics
