Greek Interstate Arbitration (original) (raw)
The increase in agreed arbitration of disputes between Greek states, by an external state or individual, was an important development during the Hellenistic period. There is a good introduction to the topic by A.Magnetto, "Interstate Arbitration and Foreign Judges", section 1 ( academia.edu ).
The standard account in English of the evidence for Hellenistic arbitration is: S.L.Ager, "Interstate Arbitrations in the Greek World, 337�90 B.C." ( Google Books ). This book is a valuable source of information about international relations in the Hellenistic world, and most of the evidence that it presents comes from inscriptions. Many of these inscriptions are now available in online translations, and links to the translations are shown below. The numbers on the left of each line are the case numbers in the book.
