 | National Laws and International Commerce: The Problem of Extraterritoriality Subjects: Economics Finance Business & Industry; Politics & International Relations; Economics Finance and Accounting; Business Management and Marketing; Industry & Industrial Studies; International Political Economy; International Economics; Business History; International Business; Service Industries; Politics of International Trade; This Chatham House Paper, first published in 1982, examines the problem of extraterritoriality. A wide range of economic activity is subject to the laws of more than one state, yet there is little provision for resolving situations where states impose contradictory requirements. This paper is particularly concerned with four areas of difficulty: extraterritorial anti-trust enforcement; overlapping regulatory claims; economic regulation for political aims; and different approaches to adjudication. |
