Sovereign States and Suits Before Arbitral Tribunals and Courts of Justice. New York: New York University Press, 1925. x, 360 pp. Reprinted 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN 1-58477-459-2. Cloth. $95. * Scott [1866-1943], a participant in the Versailles Conference, was an outstanding scholar of international law. This book grew out of a series of lectures delivered at New York University in 1924. Scott outlines a history of states gradually renouncing warfare in favor of international mediating agencies. His conclusions were overly optimistic, but his book is remains valuable for its intellectual history of inter-state mediation and its insights into the relationship between sovereign states and the Hague Tribunal of Arbitration and the Permanent Court of International Justice.
