We could not have a global economy without a system to resolve transborder commercial disputes, but the international institutions which perform this vital function bear little resemblance to other pillars of the global economy. This book shows how political and legal forces have shaped the evolution of this key regime.

The issues that increasingly dominate the 21st century cannot be solved by any single country acting alone, no matter how powerful. To manage the global economy, prevent runaway environmental destruction, reign in nuclear proliferation, or confront other global challenges, we must cooperate.
