We develop a formal model of multilateral treaty negotiations, showing their key theoretical differences from other forms of negotiations, such as bilateral conflict bargaining and legislative negotiations. We show how the strategic logic of states’ negotiation positions and international organization drafting committees’ proposals depend on the type of agreements being considered, including what types of public or club goods it generates, and the institutional rules governing ratification and entry into force.

The Political Science Seminar Series is convened by Desmond King and Ben Ansell. For more information on this or any of the seminars in the series, please contact politics.secretary@nuffield.ox.ac.uk.
