Brilmayer, Lea
Abstract
The application of American law to litigation with international elements has provoked a storm of controversy. The debate is most pronounced in the field of antitrust law, although similar issues are present in areas such as securities regulation. As the United States faces not only increasing irritation on the part of certain foreign trading partners, but also occasional retaliatory legislation by foreign governments, it is natural to wonder how the present state of affairs came about.
