Abstract
Explores empirical relationships in disputes before these four institutions. Such formal institutions of international conciliation were used more between the two world wars than after World War II. Nations of the West with open, competitive political systems are most apt to use these agencies. Nations that are similar to one another do not necessarily use the institutions more than dissimilar nations. The structure of the institution and history both have had significant influence on usage.
