International Dispute Resolution - Selected Issues in International Litigation and Arbitration

The contributions in this book cover a wide range of topics within modern dispute

resolution, which can be summarised as follows: harmonisation, enforcement and

alternative dispute resolution. In particular, it looks into the impact of harmonised

EU law on national rules of civil procedure and addresses the lack of harmonisation

in the US regarding the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. Furthermore,

the law on enforcement is examined, not only by focusing on US law, but also on

how to attach assets in order to enforce a judgment. Finally, it addresses certain types

of alternative dispute resolution. In addition, the book looks into the systems and

cultures of dispute resolution in several regions of the world, such as the EU, the US and

China, that have a high impact on globalisation. Hence, the book is diverse in the sense

of dealing with multiple issues in the field of modern dispute resolution.
