Anomalous Gauge Boson Couplings in the e^+ e^- -> ZZ Process

We discuss experimental aspects related to the $\mathrm{e^+ e^-} \to \mathrm{Z}\mathrm{Z}$ process and to the search for anomalous ZZV couplings (V$= \mathrm{Z}, \gamma$) at LEP2 and future $\mathrm{e^+ e^-}$ colliders. We present two possible approaches for a realistic study of the reaction and discuss the differences between them. We find that the optimal method to study double Z resonant production and to quantify the presence of anomalous couplings requires the use of a complete four-fermion final-state calculation.
