Summary
There often exists a gap between public perceptions about how the proverbial sausage is made, and the reality of sausage-making. Just as often, sausage-makers have an incentive to preserve this gap between facts and perception. This chapter considers the analogous incentives of the various sausage-makers in international judicial settings, with a focus on the World Trade Organization (WTO). I show how recent empirical advances can offer an unprecedented glimpse into the sausage-making of international adjudication.
