The Managerial Thesis in Law

Mathew Sinu Simon

Abstract

The management school is built on the discovery that state compliance with international accords is typically rather strong, and that enforcement has played little or no role in establishing and maintaining that record. According to Abram and Antonia Chayes, what secures compliance is a plastic process of interaction among the parties involved in which the objective is to rebuild, in the micro context of the specific dispute, the balance of advantage that existed before, created the agreement Noncompliance is not always, and maybe not even typically, the outcome of purposeful defiance of the legal norm, according to members of the management school. 4 When compliance issues do arise, they should be treated as isolated administrative malfunctions rather than infractions or self-serving efforts at exploitation.
