In this series of ten provocative and learned essays, one of America's leading writers on private and public international law addresses the cutting edge issues of transnational litigation. Professor Lowenfeld sets out the current debates on the reach of national jurisdiction, both legislative and judicial, as seen in the United States, in England, and on the continent. He examines the effects doctrine, recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, and liability of multinational corporations, suggesting that the principle of reasonableness may lead to a narrowing of differences, if not consensus. The book's lively style and rich source material, as well as the author's lifetime of experience as a lawyer, arbitrator, government official, and scholar make International Litigation and the Quest for Reasonableness recommended reading for anyone interested in conflict of laws, international law, or civil procedure.

Clarendon Press

International Economic Law (International Economic Law Series)

As conflict and cooperation among states turn to an ever greater extent to economic issues, this fully updated and expanded second edition presents a comprehensive exploration of the legal foundations of the international economy. In it, Professor Andrews Lowenfeld examines the current status of the law, and explores the origins, political tensions and development of outcomes that are often difficult to comprehend. The book covers all the major elements of economic law in the international arena including the World Trade Organization and its antecedents; dumping, subsidies, and other devices that alter the market; the International Monetary System, including the collapse of the Bretton Woods system; the debt of developing countries; the law of foreign direct investment, including changing perceptions of the rights of host states and multinational enterprises; and economic sanctions. The book also contains chapters on competition law, environmental law, and new chapters on intellectual property and the various forms of arbitration; demonstrating how these subjects fit into the framework of international economic law. Professor Lowenfeld brings to his task a lifetime of practice and teaching experience to produce a book that will be of use to international lawyers and non-specialists alike.

This important volume presents a comprehensive exploration of the legal foundations of the international economy. Covering all aspects of international economic law, such as the GATT/WTO, the International Monetary System, transnational investment and economic sanctions, it will be of interest to international lawyers and non-specialists alike.

International litigation and arbitration (American casebook series)

In INTERNATIONAL LITIGATION AND ARBITRATION Professor Lowenfeld distills for students and instructors his many years of activity as a private practitioner, State Department lawyer, international arbitrator, prolific writer on international legal subjects, and reporter for the Restatement of Foreign Relations Law. From this wealth of experience he has fashioned a fascinating set of cases, narrative, and notes and questions focused on litigation involving parties from more than one state. 
Most of the cases presented have some relation to the United States, but they do not all come from United States courts. Indeed, one of the principal features of the book is that when related fudicial decisions or other actions take place in more than one country, all the relevant steps are exposed to scrutiny. Thus such familiar cases as United States v. ICI, Zapata Off-Shore v. The Bremen, Laker v. Sabena, Untied States v. Marc Rich, Somportex v. Philadelphia Chewing Gun, Societe Internatinale v. Rogers, and the Uranium Antitrust Litigation, are presented in at least two, and in some instances three different settings as well as narrative explaining what the underlying controversy was about. 
The cases involving resistance by foreign parties to jurisdiction of American courts are followed by illustrations of efforts to enforce American judgments overseas, and of the alternative of international arbitration. Cases about jurisdiction to prescribe are placed in the context of the search for criteria for application of public law, (e.g., antitrust and securities regulation) to activity taking place, or having effect, in more than one country. 
The act of state doctrine and the law of claims against foreign states are presented both in historical and in current context. The continuing struggle over the extent of U.S. discovery of information located abroad is accompanied by brief discussion of fact-gathering in other states, and by exploration of the Hague Evidence Convention. The book also explores the uses and abuses of grand jury investigations or multinational enterprises and multinational crime, including money laundering and bank secrecy. Throughout the volume, the elusive question of state of sovereign interests is subjected to searching inquiry, including resort to sanctions by the United States and blocking statutes by foreign states. 
Professor Lowenfeld's book is suitable for an advanced course or seminar in international law, conflict of laws, or civil procedure. The elaborate textual and source material make the book usable both for instructors experienced in international litigation and for those who have not previously taught such a course but feel the urge to branch out.

Most cases presented have some relation to the United States, but they do not all come from U.S. courts. One of the principal features of the book is discussing that when related judicial decisions take place in multiple countries, all the relevant steps are exposed to scrutiny. Thus, familiar cases are presented in at least two, and in some instances three, settings and include explanations of  the underlying controversy. The cases involving resistance by foreign parties to jurisdiction of American courts are followed by illustrations of efforts to enforce American judgments overseas and of the alternative of international arbitration.

West Group Publishing

This Conflicts casebook is unique because it addresses conflict issues arising in the international arena in addition to domestic conflict of laws issues. This coverage reflects the ever-increasing level of transnational trade and travel. To make the subject more engaging, the book reintroduces conflict of laws that have largely disappeared from the wholly domestic scene, such as commercial law. Nevertheless, for professors who do not wish to cover comparative and international aspects of conflicts, these materials are placed at the end of the relevant chapters so that they may be omitted without interrupting the flow of the book. This Second Edition also reflects the latest domestic and international developments in conflicts involving family law issues.
