Nowhere is the integration of behavioural insights into international legal theory more important than in relation to compliance. Such insights offer the potential to give us a more accurate understanding of how states behave, permitting both the development of more effective, empirically grounded normative propositions for legal and institutional change, as well as the creation of more convincing theories of compliance. Drawing on theoretical, empirical and experimental studies from political science and international relations, the article suggests that we need to understand compliance decision-making as a broader process that requires analysis of how and why decision-makers perceive new information the way that they do, and how the process by which they make decisions, such as their style of reasoning, might affect decision outcomes. To develop this point, the article uses data from international financial institutions and a novel sentiment analysis of Argentinian parliamentary debates to test empirically hypotheses generated by realist, liberal, and constructivist theories of compliance, the results of which demonstrate the benefit of adopting a behavioural approach to compliance.

感知和过程：走向合规行为理论

将行为洞察力融入国际法律理论中，没有比合规性更重要的了。这些见解为我们提供了对国家行为方式的更准确理解的潜力，允许为法律和制度变革制定更有效、以经验为基础的规范性命题，以及创建更有说服力的合规理论。本文借鉴政治学和国际关系的理论、实证和实验研究，建议我们需要将合​​规决策理解为一个更广泛的过程，需要分析决策者如何以及为什么以他们的方式感知新信息，以及他们做出决策的过程（例如他们的推理方式）如何影响决策结果。
