The IMPRS will concentrate on the question which
conditions
must be present to successfully resolve disputes at the international
level. This notably includes proceedings before the International Court
of Justice, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and the
international criminal courts. Additionally, international arbitration
is covered, especially with respect to investment disputes, commercial
arbitration and arbitration for sport, as well as disputes before WTO
adjudicatory bodies. The treatment of State insolvency and alternative
dispute resolution methods will also be examined.
The main idea is that comparing different institutions, based on public
international law as well as on international economic and criminal
law, leads to new insights into the suitability of institutions and the
procedures to achieve effective conflict resolution. Coordinating
research projects of doctoral candidates and professors should open an
interdisciplinary perspective previously unknown to legal science due
to the strict separation between private international law, public
international law and international criminal law. Research topics
should have an international, comparative and interdisciplinary
approach. The research school is open to doctoral candidates in the
fields of law, political sciences, sociology and psychology.
The International Max Planck Research School is affiliated with the
already existing post-graduate school on “Successful Dispute
Resolution” instituted offered at the Law Faculty of the
University of Heidelberg. Both are supported by the Max Planck
Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in
Heidelberg, and the Institute of Comparative and International Private
and Economic Law, at the Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg, in
cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International
Criminal Law in Freiburg as well as the new Max Planck Institute Luxembourg
for International, European and Regulatory Procedural Law.
