C&C member Luis Schenoni, Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Department of Political Science, has published an article in International Studies Review, a flagship journal of the International Studies Association. The article is co-authored with Kelly Morrison (University of Tennessee) and Anibal Perez-Liñán (University of Notre Dame).
In their article Compliance in Time: Lessons from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the three authors integrate the scholarship on compliance with international human rights courts to reflect upon how the literature approaches delays and compliance cycles. The study introduces two metrics to facilitate the interpretation of delays (the yearly probability of compliance and the expected time to compliance) and shows how scholars can reconstruct life cycles of compliance using machine-learning tools. Finally, the authors illustrate the utility of this approach with an analysis of a novel dataset including all cases decided by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) between 1989 and 2019.
This is part of a larger project led by Anibal Perez-Liñán, Director of the Kellogg Institute, involving several academic institutions and stakeholders, including the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) itself.
