N2 - This article considers the role of the Scandinavian states in the establishment of thePermanent Court of International Justice (PCIJ), by analysing the interplay betweentheir legal-diplomatic praxis and five different diplomatic arenas between 1917 and1920. The Scandinavian role in the establishment of the PCIJ constituted a new way toinfluence international politics in an emerging institutionalized multilateral setting. It was no accident that Scandinavian diplomatic coordination came in the field of international law: already before 1914, they promoted international law as central to a new more peaceful organisation of the international system; during the war and immediately after they forged a common approach. Beyond the intentions of three states, however, we argue that the qualities and sequencing of the diplomatic arenas mattered greatly in shaping the role of the Scandinavians and the establishment of the PCIJ.
